SmackDown's graphic claimed that Finn Bálor "Holds [A] First-Degree Black Belt". In karate? Another martial art? This isn't something the company has ever really explored with Finn. Were they just stuck for something to put on that sidebar during his entrance?

Surely they have to deep dive on this in the future. Something like that deserves more attention, and it's the kind of thing that'd up Bálor's credibility as a striker between the ropes.

As if he needed help there, but still.
