Finn Balor will debut in WWE in 2016 and wow fans with his innovative offense, his undeniable charisma, and his unique entrance. He'll work his way up the card for the next couple of years, collecting Intercontinental, United States, and Tag Team Championships (the last with Hideo Itami). At Money in the Bank 2018, Balor will claim the briefcase, and unlike almost all of his predecessors, he'll announce his title shot - he'll meet John Cena face to face and tell him that at SummerSlam, he'll become the new WWE Champion. Balor won't be wrong. He and Cena will have an amazing encounter, reminiscent of the champ's battles with Daniel Bryan at SummerSlam 2013 and CM Punk at Money in the Bank 2011. Balor will kick out of the Attitude Adjustment and Cena will kick out of the Coup de Grace - but a second double-foot stomp from the challenger will put Cena away, giving Finn Balor his first WWE Championship. He and Cena will shake hands, and the new champ will be here.
