4. He'd Freshen Things Up

For all Balor’s pre-existing chemistry with a number of established roster members, there are countless others with whom he hasn’t crossed paths yet (in WWE, at least). With all the complaints levied towards modern day WWE, it’s easy to forget just how talented their roster is, and Balor’s arrival opens-up countless fresh matches and storylines.

Finn Balor vs. AJ Styles practically writes itself at this point. No matter where WWE choose to go with The Club’s story, Finn and AJ’s intertwining histories and undeniable talents all but guarantees a top tier contest.

Imagine Finn going toe-to-toe with fellow master technician Cesaro, whose strength and power he’ll look to counter with speed and agility? Or Finn Balor vs. Seth Rollins, in which The Irishman will battle The Architect’s cunning shortcut-taking with heart, passion, and sheer determination?

At a time when the likes of Darren Young and Zack Ryder find themselves contending for championships, Finn Balor would be an instant jolt of energy to the midcard scene. His background means he could comfortably step into a United States or Intercontinental Championship program from the offset, and his legitimacy as a competitor could prove vital in dragging those belts from their current malaise.
