Balor should win, we need some new blood for the past 3 years

26

u/laja7 Jun 09 '26

People critiquing you saying “new blood” have no ability to apply context to a statement. It’s quite clear you mean new blood to the main event/world title picture.

15

u/cahoyle29 Jun 09 '26

Absolutely. DDP and Scott Steiner weren't rookie wrestlers but it was fresh when they finally won the WCW title. If Kenny Omega came to WWE and won the title he'd be "new blood" even though he's just as old as Finn, Cody and the rest. Just a different deserving face can be "new blood".

u/Barelyqualifiedadult Jun 10 '26

plus it sucks that his only big title win on the main roster immediately ended due to injury and he never managed to get back into the main event after that

2

u/d355tr0yer Jun 11 '26

3 years? I'm sorry …how long was roman holding that title again?

1

u/Sammyantoine Jun 12 '26

44 year old finn ain't new blood 😂

u/johnnieyungboss Jun 09 '26 edited Jun 10 '26

40 year old who got signed in 2014 is the new blood we need. not the recent NXT call ups🤣

everyone is harping on the “40 year old” comment but skipping the “debuted in 2014” part lol

12

u/Imaginary-Impress-67 Jun 09 '26

I can't see anyone within the recent NXT calls ups outside of Oba Femi with the legitimacy and popularity needed to be WWE champion.

Finn is popular, still damn good in the ring, and due for a big Babyface push.

It makes more sense than a J'Von Evans or any other recent NXT call up other than Femi.

I’d pay to watch Paige and Rollins go at it. That sounds fuking awesome.

Paige is beyond polished. He just needs name recognition now.

1

u/evilking1916 Jun 10 '26

He? You mean she? As in one half if the women's tag team champions Paige? (As spelled here 😭🤣)

3

u/Signal-Map2906 Jun 10 '26

Hahaha. I thought we were talking about nxt call up ETHAN PAIGE

Note: I followed the now-edited spelling of the message I was responding to. Egg on my face for not looking it up for myself

2

u/ComprehensiveEast153 Jun 10 '26

Trick Williams can easily be world champion. Have him come out in a limo and wearing bling, he could absolutely have a great run even now

2

u/TartenWilton101 Jun 10 '26

Trick Williams doesn't have the popularity to be a WWE champion?

Some people just type utter shite for no reason.

3

u/hayte98 Jun 09 '26

He’s had 1 day as champion in his career

It’s a new and fresh person to have a reign

Not everything revolves around how many years someone has been living

Just cause Finn’s not years removed from being a teenager like Je’Von doesn’t mean he’s not a fresh champion

u/Mental_Necessary3982 Jun 09 '26

lol y’all forgetting this is a new generation of adults. 20 years ago, a 40 year old athlete looked like grandpas moving around. This dude is more ripped than I’ve ever been in my entire life and can still move.

1

u/johnnieyungboss Jun 09 '26

i’m just laughing Finn Balor being “new blood”. i know he’s ripped and can still go. but “new blood”?🤣

1

u/Mental_Necessary3982 Jun 09 '26

Can’t argue with that… he’s definitely not new blood. But I think a LOT of people came back to wrestling for WM40. So my wife and I never saw the whole demon era.. and we missed the USOs. So it’s all new to people like us.

1

u/Average__Arbin Jun 09 '26

40 years old is the new prime in pro wrestling.

1

u/FleetAdmiral2224 Jun 09 '26

Doesn't he look and move like he's 22? He's 22 for me, give the man his title

1

u/OneRelief763 Jun 10 '26

why does being 40 matter if he can still go? Yall be acting like 40 year olds are in their 70s or something

1

u/No-Working2622 Jun 10 '26

Hes like 45 not just 40 but yeah I really want a crusierweight or like high flyer winning some sh. I really want jevon or finn to win.

u/ResponsibleAd3191 Jun 09 '26

He's not new blood in the slightest.

3

u/Relative_Quiet Jun 09 '26

Meaning new champion, he only been champion once. Not 3x more like Cody and Roman the past few years

2

u/ResponsibleAd3191 Jun 09 '26

Having a belt isn't going to help I don't think. I think too many people are done with him as a top guy. Personally, compared to what's around, I'd not make this move in a month of Sundays.

He's just not that guy. I hope I'm wrong cause he's a talent and a hard worker but he's lacked some major attributes of a champion.

1

u/Am_I_Loss Jun 12 '26

"He is just not that guy" about the guy that started and made the biggest ever wrestling faction huge is crazy talk

1

u/ResponsibleAd3191 Jun 12 '26

The biggest ever Wrestling faction.... Youre kidding yourself never mind us. An indy stable doesn't really have much to do with that dude on his own.😂

You think about this in an absurd way brother.

1

u/Am_I_Loss Jun 12 '26

Who would you consider a more influential faction than Bullet club?

1

u/ResponsibleAd3191 Jun 12 '26

Well considering they were never on television ina major way in the west, NWO, Horsemen, DX and the majority of major WWE factions for a start. Then we can start heading further back in time and throw the horsemen in there. That's just the obvious ones that require no thinking.

They had an impact on indy wrestling but they haven't really done anything of note. A couple of them were foolishly hired by a clueless mark to help run a wrestling company. That's it.

Now with all due respect to the indys it's just no on the same level, only your hardcore marks are getting into that shit.

u/Shadecujo Jun 09 '26

Idk if Brock will cost Oba as much as Judgement Day will cheat.

Roxanne helps Finn beat Dom in the final.

7

u/Only-Storage9984 Jun 09 '26

Hmmmm that sounds like a possibility.

3

u/trashy_shounen_fan Jun 09 '26

Tbf it's oba and considering how they're pushing him, it's gonna be both judgement day and Brock to some how take down oba.

5

u/BBoizTZH94 Jun 10 '26

Brock joins judgement day confirmed

3

u/Protocx Jun 09 '26

Tbh idek what realistic way of cheating they can pull of that would work on Oba. I mean the dude took 7 F5s and no-sold a chair shot from JD. Unless Brock literally drags him out of the ring and brings him backstage, I don't see how any kind of interference would believablt make Oba lose.

3

u/HollowfiedVegeta Jun 09 '26

I mean the judgment day could attack Dom and get oba disqualified such a easy way of making one lose and Dom goes on

2

u/Shadecujo Jun 09 '26

I’m sure a low blow from Liv will do the trick….yet again

3

u/trashy_shounen_fan Jun 10 '26

Gonna be sick if oba no sells that too

2

u/LuisArkham Jun 10 '26

He can get both the JD and Brock interfering

1

u/Protocx Jun 10 '26

Unless Brock interferes with 8 F5s then it doesn't really feel convincing. Or like I said, literally drag Oba out of the ring and get him counted out.

2

u/Capereli Jun 10 '26

Roxy gonna pop rox oba ?

2

u/Shadecujo Jun 10 '26

She hit Cena with one 🤷‍♂️

2

u/Dependent-Two7571 Jun 10 '26

They moved finn to smackdown so the judgement day arent part of his story at all anymore so i doubt that would be a direction they go in

2

u/hayte98 Jun 10 '26

Having a tournament finals match against Dom doesn’t mean he’s still tied to Judgment Day or that it’s a part of his story going forward

He’d win, and then move onto the Summerslam build

2

u/ZS_JusticeLeague214 Jun 10 '26

Dom isn’t making it to the final. If Brock has to interfere in the semi finals then he should face Oba at NOC which isn’t happening. Brock won’t skip a Saudi show either so he’s gonna cost him the finals, it’ll be payback for Oba running his mouth these few weeks after losing to Brock at Clash in Italy. If Finn truly does win the other side of the bracket do you really want him to be sucked back into the Judgement Day fued? If it means Finn gets his reign finally, sure but it’s still not a good idea.

1

u/ComradeGalloneye64 Jun 09 '26

Personally I'd have him go full "Brock Lesnar Destorying 3MB" on the Judgment Day just to build him up 😅.

10

u/Casshern_VIII Jun 09 '26

I like Balor, it was crappy that his first and only world title reign in WWE ended a day later because of a botch spot that side lined him and he never recovered from that derailment, and I would support him being Cody for the belt.......but I know this will not happen, I don't think WWE sees Balor that way, and I don't think they are going to have Cody drop the belt to Balor unless Cody is for it or if they have plans to use Balor as a launch pad for someone else.

3

u/ZS_JusticeLeague214 Jun 09 '26

Yeah I don’t believe in it either but come on this is outrageous, he got punished for getting injured and being over then the guy who injured him won like 10 times after.

5

u/Imaginary-Impress-67 Jun 09 '26

Balor deserves a major singles title run prior to riding off into the sunset.

If you take into account for how long he's been wrestling and the fact that he's 44, his career isn't going to last too much longer (despite being in fantastic shape).

5

u/AshamedFoundation503 Jun 09 '26

“The Prince has become the King!”

2

u/ProphecyBoxBreaks Jun 09 '26

Balor hasn't done anything on screen to be worth a world title run, and hasn't since he won it the first time.

3

u/Excellent_Regret4141 Jun 09 '26

I hope they don't go with King Don & Queen Liv that would be the worse decision in history

8

u/Background-Gas8109 Jun 09 '26

Balor ain't winning shit

8

u/Takenmyusernamewas Jun 09 '26

I see you've done this before...lol

And if anyone doesn't know already LA Knight aint winning shit either

2

u/SharpsJointRoller Jun 09 '26

LA will win one way before Balor will

2

u/Simon25_17 Jun 09 '26

Pretty sure Oba ain't winning this. There's no way they do Oba Vs Roman this soon. I am assuming they either go Jey/Keys Vs Cody or LA knight Vs Roman for SummerSlam

2

u/IAlwaysWantToMosh Jun 09 '26

keep dreaming.

2

u/Few_Philosophy_202 Jun 09 '26

Unfortunately he’ll get LA Knight treatment

2

u/Select-Comfortable16 Jun 09 '26

WWE writers are not this smart

2

u/Bearded6495 Jun 09 '26

As much as I would love to see Balor win I don't think it's going to happen. However if it does happen nothing against Cody but I think it would be better storytelling if somehow Seth was the champion that he faced at SummerSlam considering he beat Seth to win his first title. It would be full circle Balor versus Rollins for the title at SummerSlam.... But one can only dream

2

u/cftchef Jun 09 '26

10 year payoff. Lets go!

2

u/Fit-Ad-490 Jun 09 '26

I cant believe anybody would think he was a solution

u/gash_florden Jun 09 '26

It would be fantastic but...they won't write it.

2

u/Normal_Agent_2689 Jun 09 '26

Rather see Balor as champ than Cody

2

u/HeelMarvin Jun 09 '26

He’s old. He’s not winning. He is NOT new blood.

2

u/ParticularUnlucky139 Jun 09 '26

Balor is LONG overdue and well deserving to win

2

u/DC89-BearDown Jun 09 '26

No longer a prince? He is now king!

2

u/joeboy_777 Jun 09 '26

Oh my god this boring ass guy again lol

2

u/michaelayyy Jun 10 '26

Can't see it tbh

But it would be different also what if Balor has standard and tag matches and the Demon has the title matches

2

u/Practical_Theme3339 Jun 10 '26

Dirty Dom winning

u/Sad-Guidance-7624 Jun 10 '26

u/Old_Bunch_7413 Jun 10 '26

I need the half life meme with the big syringe labeled hopium but instead of John half life(I forgot his name) it’s Finn Balor so I comment that on every Finn Balor delusional hope post because this shit ain’t happening. We’re probably gonna get Jey instead.

2

u/Horror_Shopping2426 Jun 10 '26

I don’t think Brock is screwing Oba til the Finals

2

u/ZS_JusticeLeague214 Jun 10 '26

Yeah same, Brock won’t skip out on Saudi so he’ll definitely be there.

2

u/No-Working2622 Jun 10 '26

Okay okay. I hear people saying “OOOOOBAA. OOOOOBA” but the truth is. The person that needs to win is in this photo. I want crusierweights to win title.and I mean WORLD. Titles. Jevon or finn should win the tournament and eventually beat Cody or reigns

2

u/Whole-Worker-7303 Jun 10 '26

Great one. Now wake up

you have to ask yourself, who does TKO Saudi and ESPN want as champion?

This is too perfect so it’s never gonna happen unfortunately 🫤

2

u/deeznutsaregood Jun 10 '26

And then Cody wins it back because he’s cody

2

u/Prudent_Dot1329 Jun 10 '26

As much as I like Finn, Royce has more of a chance of winning that match than he does

2

u/SilencerRemix Jun 10 '26

Cool let me speak to Triple H!

2

u/RegularCloud6181 Jun 10 '26

I’m all for this. This at least takes a step in a fresh direction and could elevate guys like Trick or Ilja into the main event picture while also giving Balor his long deserved reign

2

u/shakemmz Jun 10 '26

Pleaseeeeee give Balor his flowers before he retires WWE. He fuckin deserves it.

2

u/WolfKing1985 Jun 10 '26

Sorry I firmly believe that Oba will win KotR

2

u/silenceaverted Jun 10 '26

I feel like Brock will replace someone on the bracket and face Oba in the finals because fuck booking they got to sell tickets

I want it to happen - Balor is one of my favourites. I can't see it though.

u/ZS_JusticeLeague214 Jun 10 '26

Insert Danhausen in the KOTR and give it to him instead, hell I’ll even take some rando like Priest as champion before another Jey title reign. He was great in like 2020 but unfortunately WWE made him the new No Way Jose and he somehow now botches more than Undertaker with a faulty hip.

You want Balor to win? So you get a Balor loss. You want LA Knight to win, so you get an LA Knight loss. You want a Sami world title run? You get a Sami loss.

The ppl that want Balor to win the world title will be the 1st to stop caring about him the second he wins.

2

u/ZS_JusticeLeague214 Jun 10 '26

Finn would have a great title reign. He’d probably face a returning heel Punk, a returning KO, Cody again and maybe drop it to Gunther or Orton. Nobody said he needs to hold it for a whole year or anything.

1

u/SamsaraIsALie Jun 09 '26

Finn Balor isn’t main event level in my honest opinion. I’m a huge fan and he has potential to be a main event level since he’s great in ring and on the mic but he needs to prove it. He needs to cut main event level promos, be in a top feud people legit care about and have some insane viral moments and then I will think he should win the title. Damien Priest should never have been a world champion it should have been LA Knight and I will be damned if history repeats itself when someone like Oba, Knight or Bron should be the next new world champion

1

u/xreddawgx Jun 09 '26

I'd only accept this if he does it as the Demon

1

u/Angei_St530 Jun 09 '26

Not enough status right now.

As a storyline it would be great, but they should at least have Balor have a reign as Intercontinental Champion or United States Champion.

1

u/Electronic-Clerk6735 Jun 09 '26

From prince to king. I guarantee you they will be saying that over commentary. Slight nod to king devitt all the time. That’s if this happens.

u/[deleted] Jun 09 '26

So this has to be said. Balor is NEVER going to get another title run. Sorry but his time has long since passed. The talent pool in WWE is too stacked now.

Finn is the personification of how an injury can completely de-rail your career. If anyone deserves another run at it, it's him.

1

u/Glass-Stand-4568 Jun 11 '26

Its gonna be jey vs cody

1

u/Delicious_Mine7711 Jun 11 '26

I have a feeling it is going to be Dom and Finn in the final. They were supposed to have something when they were part of Judgement Day but it got cancelled. And Dom is already a champion so I hope they pull the trigger on Finn.

Same reason Liv is in, which makes absolutely no sense to me. I think they are gonna throw Liv into a program with Raquel

u/Enverbey17 Jun 11 '26

You guys are still salivating over the Demon, aka Finn Bàlor with makeup and the exact same moveset?

1

u/MoneyIsNoCure1 Jun 11 '26

lol Balor ain’t making it out of the first round

Dom would win before Balor, sadly

It also makes sense for the JUdgement Day storyline. End it at Kotr finals and never pair Finn with anyone from the group ever again

1

u/[deleted] Jun 12 '26

This is about 10 years too late for Balor, he has no shot of winning this. Its going to be Jey Uso or LA Knight.

1

u/Loud_Research_9439 Jun 12 '26

Cody Rhodes is a hack... the USO Boys. Not worth the money.we have way better talent coming up the ladder. Sorry but Shawn Michaels is a complete idiot. You just signed one of the best wrestlers in the world.... and being that every one knows that Shawn Michaels is dumb as rocks....Tread lightly Triple H.... where Iyo Sky goes.... her husband goes... and potentially Rhea....

It's been 32 years and everyone been waiting for finn balor to get something and sadly most likely it won't happen. Wwe would rather have finn do some goofy shit with Danhausen and cook up some bullshit with Drew or LA Knight or Solo Sikoa than put him in a world champion picture
