WWE is at its peak these days, and while those days are behind us, it's time to find the next jewel for the crown before we can find a survivor. This may sound like an enigma to a lot, but this story absolutely belongs to Finn Balor.

On August 21, 2016, Balor defeated Seth Rollins in a pinfall and submission-only match to become the inaugural champion. But injury forced him to relinquish the title the following night on Raw. It took him another two and a half years before he could be challenged for the championship.



Balor faced Brock Lesnar in a losing attempt at the 2019 WWE Royal Rumble event. He then moved to NXT and then found himself on the receiving end of another loss via Roman Reigns at the 2021 WWE Extreme Rules event.

Balor has been a survivor throughout the wrestling journey. It is so called because the top rope broke when it was about to hit its final move, the coup de grace. Speaking to Josh Martinez on Superstar Crossover, Finn Balor expressed his feelings about how he felt after it happened.

I feel like it’s just been left open-ended, and the finish hasn’t been addressed. There was an idea to go a different direction, but then Brock returned, and the direction changed. So that’s something you have to kind of come to terms with and understand in WWE that, there’s always going to be — if one piece of the jigsaw changes, the whole landscape changes. If someone gets hurt, or someone returns, there’s always going to be different ideas and plans in place. So you just got to be able to adapt to the ever-evolving situation. That’s what we have to do but I feel like the finish of that match has definitely caused some watercooler talk, so to speak, and the fact that we’re still talking about it a year later, is evidence of that, and I feel like in the next couple of months, we should really revisit that and address what happened that night.

Currently, Finn has a group to look after The Bloodline if the situation arises. The great thing is that Finn is on Raw while Roman is on SmackDown. The two are likely to come face to face at Survivor Series.
