10 Wrestlers Who Should Be Future WWE World Champions
2. Finn Balor
Odds: 1-1 (Evens) If youre looking for someone whos truly special and is destined for big things in WWE, look no further than the current NXT Champion, Finn Balor. One of Triple Hs top signings, the former Prince Devitt has been nearly unstoppable since entering WWEs developmental system last year. Balor has tapped into his Demon persona multiple times during NXT: TakeOver events, donning body paint, headgear and other accessories, which has captivated fans and has become a must-see entrance. Thankfully, unlike former WCW wrestler Glacier, Balor has a ton of talent to back up his elaborate entrance. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4SYY41kVqc Probably the biggest criticisms against Balor would be his size and his accent, which also could be advantages in that he doesnt look and sound like a cookie-cutter WWE superstar. Balor has that ability to connect with fans, and he could be someone who is in the Daniel Bryan mold a smaller guy whos an outstanding ring technician with a rabid fanbase. Balor is a future world champion and should capture gold within the next two years. If Kevin Dunn is gone in the next year, then bump that timetable up a little.
