Alternatively, they could give that particular gig to Finn Bálor.

It's a tougher sell due to Bálor's natural likability, but this whole respect thing Finn's working with Seth Rollins can only go so far. WWE are a company who like their defined characters, so one will have to turn heel sooner or later. Due to how well Seth is starting to click as a babyface, the onus falls on Bálor.

Switching out "Bálor Club is for everyone" and replacing it with "Bálor Club is for no-one but me" would be easy, and so would tailoring Finn's "Demon" persona so that it only comes out when he feels backed against a wall; if that happens, WWE will need to be mindful not to turn Finn into a horror caricature like Bray Wyatt, but that's a road to cross once they come to it and they've (hopefully) learned from those mistakes.

Bálor has never been heel in WWE, so it'd be a refreshing twist on his performances if nothing else. It's worth a go, could breathe new life into the feud with Rollins over the Intercontinental Title and allow Bálor to prove that he belongs in the top line mix all over again.

Tabhair lámhaigh air, WWE.
