Finn Balor’s Potential Role in SummerSlam Universal Title Match
In the upcoming WWE SummerSlam event, the Universal Title Match between John Cena and Roman Reigns is set to be a thrilling 1-on-1 showdown. As the match looms, many fans are speculating about Finn Balor's involvement and what role he might play in the post-match scenario.
Speculations and Predictions
There are mixed opinions about Finn Balor's potential role in the match. Some fans hope that Balor will face the winner of the John Cena vs. Roman Reigns Universal Title bout, rather than creating a three-way match involving other wrestlers. Fans are particularly concerned about the possibility of a three-way match reminiscent of the Edge, Daniel Bryan, and Roman Reigns match, which was seen by many as unnecessary and overcomplicated. This type of match was suggested as a result of online pressure from fans who were upset about John Cena's past actions.
Recalling the incident where Finn Balor himself asked for a title match after John Cena called out Roman Reigns, fans are wary of a similar scenario unfolding again. There is a general sentiment that Cena vs. Reigns should have a clear 1-on-1 match to properly transition the 'top guy' mantle from Cena to Reigns, then allowing Cena to return to Hollywood and Reigns to continue his current reign.
Future Involvement and Pushes
Despite these worries, many fans hope that Finn Balor will still play a significant role in the post-match scenario. It is speculated that Balor may intervene against the Usos (Solimos and Elias), ensuring they do not get a victory over John Cena. This could lead to Balor being positioned as a key player in the post-match storyline.
Should the post-match angle go in this direction, Balor could be given the opportunity to remind everyone of his missed chance. His past actions, such as his approach during a WWE Elimination Chamber match, could be used to build up a narrative where he demands a rematch against Roman Reigns at a future Pay-Per-View (PPV). However, it's important to note that WWE management will ultimately decide whether such an angle is developed and implemented.
Conclusion
The involvement of Finn Balor in the SummerSlam Universal Title match and its aftermath will likely significantly impact the storyline and the long-term plans for several key wrestlers. Whether Balor gets the opportunity to face the winner, reminds the WWE Universe of his missed title shot, or faces the Usos, his role will be crucial in shaping the narrative.
Only time will tell how WWE will use Finn Balor in this scenario, but fans are eagerly anticipating the outcome of the John Cena vs. Roman Reigns Universal Title match and the subsequent push for Balor. Stay tuned for the exciting developments at SummerSlam and the subsequent WWE programming.
