Finn Balor is the first and shortest reigning world champion in the WWE. He had to give up his title 24 hours after winning because of an injury. This great disappointment prompted WWE to significantly change its plans.
Dave Meltzer described WWE's initial plans for Balor prior to his shoulder injury at Wrestling Observer Radio. It was planned to push Finn Balor to the top of the map. Although he is not at the same level as Roman Reigns, it would certainly have placed WWE in a much better position to pbad the torch to Balor after the Big Dog medical hiatus.
"They were far behind him at the time and he never came back to this situation, but absolutely, yes. They had planned to do it – he was not going to outdo Roman Reigns, but I think they wanted him to be close to that level. Balor could not even postpone the universal title after winning it, which some fans thought was a wise move at the time: see how the crowd is hitting the new red title.
We do not know never if Finn Balor finds his way back to the picture of the universal title After his defeat against Brock Lesnar at the Royal Rumble, he is now champion of the international circuit after his defeat against Bobby Lashley and Lio Rush at Elimination Chamber the month Therefore, it seems that WWE is making small strides, or at least they have decided that Balor deserves a title after a two-year drought.
