7 Times WWE Cast Doubt On Finn Bálor's Future
3. Being Left Off The Great Balls Of Fire Match Card
Before a Fatal 5-Way Match at Extreme Rules to determine the #1 Contender to Brock Lesnar’s Universal Championship, Finn Bálor didn’t have much going on. He was injured upon winning the Universal Title, and shortly after he returned, a concussion nearly halted his momentum. At Payback, he appeared on Miz TV, and the following month, one of the matches that received the most buzz was one in which he lost against Roman Reigns.
Things seemed to get better when Heyman praised ‘The Demon King’ prior to the Fatal 5-Way Match, but even though Heyman claimed he wanted to see him pit off against his client, Bálor lost at Extreme Rules.
And somehow, things only went further downhill afterward.
Instead of finding himself in a feud with 'The Beast Incarnate', Bálor found himself a bit lost - and once again removed from the main event picture. Worse, he wasn’t in the picture at all come the following event, Great Balls Of Fire, which made some fans wonder where WWE saw 'The Demon' in the grand scheme of things.
