Like a perfectly timed Coup de Grâce, the stars seem to be aligning for WWE veteran Finn Balor. As he celebrates a decade since his WWE debut, backstage chatter suggests that the Irish phenom is on the brink of a “sustained singles push” in 2025. And honestly, it’s about time the Demon King took his throne again.
A Decade of Dazzling (and Some Dabbling)
Balor’s WWE run has been the wrestling equivalent of a rollercoaster—a thrilling mix of loop-de-loops, corkscrews, and the occasional abrupt halt. From becoming the first-ever WWE Universal Champion (and having to relinquish it due to injury the next day) to leading factions like Judgment Day, Balor has consistently been a standout. But fans and critics alike have noted the inconsistency in his main-event runs, often wondering when WWE would fully unleash the Balor Club president.
Locker Room Leader Turned Main Event Player
According to Wrestlevotes, Balor has cemented himself as a locker-room leader in recent years, a reputation that might finally translate into a marquee singles push. WWE seems ready to double down on Finn in 2025, possibly addressing the will they/won’t they tension that has defined much of his booking.
But fans may not have to wait long to see Balor back in the title scene. On Saturday Night’s Main Event, he’s set to challenge the indomitable GUNTHER for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. The match is a direct response to their escalating feud, which intensified after Balor ambushed GUNTHER on Raw. Adding extra spice, Balor’s actions followed GUNTHER’s interference at Survivor Series, which cost Damian Priest—a former Judgment Day ally—a shot at the championship.
2025: The Year of Balor?
If Balor’s World Heavyweight Title bid against GUNTHER is any indication, his main-event renaissance could start sooner than expected. And who knows? With ten years of experience, a growing legacy, and an army of fans, maybe 2025 will finally see Finn Balor holding court at the top of WWE’s mountain.
