Regular readers may be spotting a pattern at this point in the monthly prediction pieces.

Spotting a pattern is typically the most exciting thing about a Finn Bálor match. The man experiments with his gear in a way the creative team refuse to with his direction, making the value of his pay-per-view appearances as much about the colour of his togs as result of his match.

He's got a fabulous supercard record too, with a win here against Raw's Constable almost a certainty after Corbin levelled their series on Raw then followed it up with some of the lamest power plays this side of the Anonymous Raw General Manager.

Here's hoping Bálor "feels the heat" of the old fashioned SummerSlam aesthetic. Some bright yellows or oranges for the summer spectacular would go down great in such a white-bread match with a black-suited Baron.
