9. Finn Balor
Sticking to the Shane McMahon-Undertaker match and the potential for new talent to debut in that match, current NXT champion Finn Balor is a favorite. The leader of The Balor Club, which has yet to be defined by anything other than t-shirts, Balor is the top dog in NXT and the most popular male star on that brand. He is a bona fide star, one of the few performers on that roster with a keen sense of theatricality to go along with his immense in-ring talents. Balor showing up as the support for McMahon in the huge Hell in a Cell bout would allow him to embark on a main roster career that would instantly see him in the main event mix, somewhere he undoubtedly belongs. At a time when the Roman Reigns project is failing on a massive scale, and no other babyface is quite ready to take the top spot in the company away from John Cena, calling Balor up and letting him loose could not possibly be a bad thing. Could we see him and a friend or two interfere on behalf of Shane-O-Mac?
