The WWE Universe believed we were getting a Finn Balor babyface turn following his match with CM Punk. But things didn’t work out that way.
In recent weeks on WWE RAW, it appeared the company was hinting at a faceturn for Finn Balor. Between his babyface promo during a commercial break several weeks ago to last week’s title match with CM Punk, it appeared The Prince was ready to break out on his own once again. Unfortunately, that didn’t end up happening.
Last night on RAW, after being told he couldn’t declare for the Royal Rumble match, Balor ruined the main event World Championship match between CM Punk and AJ Styles. The show ended with Balor standing tall over Punk. The same man who suggested to him earlier in the show that he leave the Judgment Day.
WWE Superstar Big E spoke about what went down last night on RAW Recap, stating he believes we were all robbed of a Finn Balor babyface turn.
“He got me. I was so excited for this new turn, a new Finn Balor,” Big E admitted. “I think of him as a peer of a CM Punk or an AJ Styles, those guys really changed the game. What they did on the indies really helped shape what wrestling looked like in WWE for years to come.
“The thought of Finn breaking from the Judgment Day, carving out his own path, making a World Title run as a beloved- even just getting to see glimpses of his old entrance the week prior and seeing the way the fans in Ireland took to him, that was such a beautiful moment, and I thought for a split second we were going to get that Finn Balor again, and we were robbed. We were all robbed.” [H/T: WrestleTalk]
