How can you not love Finn Balor? This is a man who turned down the chance to promote his Demon alter-ego at WrestleMania 34 to instead support the LGBTQ community - one of the many occasions he's put other's interests before his own.

Watching Finn's current success as the leader of the remarkably popular Judgement Day faction (which was dying a death before Finn took over from the woefully miscast Edge) has been undeniably cathartic for those who've been following his WWE career. Since his horrifically-timed injury at Summerslam in 2016, Finn's been bounced up and down the card, including a demotion to NXT (and yes, being shunted to the company's C-show was a demotion).

Having said that, as nice as it's been to see Finn rocking the main event scene once more, it's hard to see him actually winning The Big One. Such is his reputation for being "the guy who gets beaten by The Guy", it's hard to actually see him usurping Seth Rollins as champion.

Still, as leader of the best faction in WWE that isn't related to Roman Reigns, Finn's doing a lot better than he was in his days of dressing up as a pumpkin...
