I think the best feud for Balor when he comes back should be to go after the cruiser weight title. Imagine the matches and feuds he could have with Neville and all the new cruiser weight guys. The cruiser weight title was made for someone like Balor and he could be the next great cruiserweight champion.
He could be but hes 35 which isn't young and he's had some injuries. I personally don't think it would be smart to make him the next FOTC. I would push someone younger like Zayn and make Balor a great cruiserweight champ like Mysterio and other great champions back in the day.
I know I am going to get hate but I don't think Balor looks like he can actually beat Taker and be a world title holder against bigger guys. I think the Cruiserweight division is what he is built for.
I think Balor has too much potential to not be in at least upper mid card/main event. WWE needs new top stars and Balor is going to be one, they wouldn't of made him the first Universal champion if they didn't have big plans for him.
He's not exactly young like I said and idk if the brass will trust him 100% right now. idk i think Balor is kind of cookie cutter with his move set and below avg mic skills. idk why people are so high on him but im in the minority.
Considering that Bálor actually won the Universal Championship, and had the relinquish the title due to an injury, what would be the logic in having him compete for the Cruiserwight Championship which is lower than the Universal Championship? Nobody would choose to go after a lower level championship as opposed to a World Championship, that's just insane. The likelihood is he would want to get his title back and would be gunning for the Universal Chamionsip as soon as he returned. I'm not opposed to it because if he feud with Kevin Owens, it could be as good as their feud in NXT.
OP, who says Neville is even going to be in the new Cruiserweight Division? I've not heard WWE say anything...
Finn was brought upto the roster to in the end challenge for the Universal Title at Summerslam. He won it, but got hurt in the process. He's guaranteed a rematch when he returns, and there's still people he can feud with who won't be in the CW division. Like KO, Jericho (if he's still around), Roman, Rusev etc.
it's kind of a given that Neville will get it at some point (sorry for being so confident but i truly believe it). I know Finn will get a rematch but doesnt mean he wins. Like I said earlier in my honest opinion, he is not a main event guy.
Look, I understand a few people have doubts to Balor due to his size but I’m not one of them. Also, the guy won the new World title in his debut on PPV.
If he’s back by Mania which if all goes well he should be, he’ll be in the Universal Title match or another big match. They’ve put way too much into him in such a short amount of time to pull back the reigns.
It would be weird to me if he came back not seeking a title match, tbh. He got injured and had to vacate the title he just won. It makes perfect sense for him to immediately have a program to challenge the current title holder when he returns. That doesn't necessarily mean his first match back needs to be a title match, but it does need to be part of a build toward one, IMO.
