Balor had an excellent feud with WWE Hall of Famer Edge throughout last year and it ended at WrestleMania 39 inside a brutal Hell on a Cell match. He might have lost the match but it established him as a top star of the promotion. He had been amazing throughout this feud and both Edge and him shared praise for each other.

“We see Finn Balor totally different than before,” Booker T said on “The Hall Of Fame” podcast. “I love ‘The Demon,’ but ‘The Demon’ don’t compare to this Finn Balor, he really don’t … Finn Balor is doing some of his best work right now.”
“I was like, ‘Oh man, I like this Finn Balor, this dude right here, this is the guy.’ The thing is, we know Finn Balor can fly. We know he can do all of the moves he can do the flips, he can do the dives and all of that,” Booker T said. “But this guy here that we’re seeing is the Finn Balor that’s going to work main event level perhaps from this part of his career on.”
Balor is currently working on a feud with Seth Rollins for the World Heavyweight Championship. There are also possibility of a feud between him and his current teammate Damian Priest. A lot of fans are rooting for him to become the new World Heavyweight Champion soon.
