WWE Royal Rumble 2022: Predicting All 30 Entrants

11. Finn Balor

The Fiend Royal Rumble
WWE

Finn Balor's main roster return has been depressingly predictable. Going back to NXT and leading that brand as its 'Prince' offered hope that his second Raw/SmackDown run would go better than the first, but the Irishman is already a bit-parter, having reverted back to the smiley-smiley babyface of old.

Currently seen serving as a springboard for Austin Theory to leap up the card, it's hard to see Finn advancing beyond this position anytime soon.
