Finn Balor must know deep down he's in a nothing feud with Bray Wyatt that will act as sheer throwaway come SummerSlam. 12 months ago, Finn was about to be crowned the first ever Universal Champion, so a lot has changed for him. Now, he's having to make do against a guy WWE have turned into a bad joke.

Bray Wyatt should be a big deal, but fans can't be expected to take him seriously when the creative team refuse to do the same. Credit then to Balor for at least trying to acknowledge Wyatt's shocking record of losing feuds on Raw and turn it into a positive.

It looks like the Irishman has a cunning plan up his sleeve that will change the feud's dynamic.

During his promo, Balor said Wyatt seems to care more about making others fear him than winning or losing. That's smart, because it turns Bray's losses to his advantage; being a carefree psychopath akin to The Joker (who only wants others to be scared) is a lot better than talking about being a 'God' despite looking totally human.
