I think it's a bit strange that WWE didn't call him Prince Balor, considering he made a name for himself as Prince Devitt.
Finn just doesn't sound like a very threatening name to me. And with Vince's "first name removal" fetish, I can't imagine it lasting long on the main roster. Just like Antonio Cesaro, Alexander Rusev and Adrian Neville, I fully expect Finn Balor to be simply "Balor"
What are your thoughts? Prince Balor or Finn Balor?

I prefer Finn Balor just because it doesn't carry the potential for someone to ask "so is he a prince or is his name Prince?". That said, as someone who didn't really mind when Antonio Cesaro and Alexander Rusev lost their first names (Neville's kinda stupid, I'll admit), I wouldn't mind him just being called Balor.

Does it matter? Once he hits main roster it'll just become first nameless Balor

"Finn Balor" sounds like we're Supposed to think that's his actual name even though we already knew him under a different identity. Will probably fall into that Batista line where he will known as Balor but people will call him Finn every now again like how people called Batista, Dave during promos and such. Rusev I didn't mind losing the first name and I kind of liked Antonio in Cesaro name but i'm not against him losing the name. However, Adrian Neville I think was perfectly fine but you get used to the name change. |

Prince Balor sounds pretty heelish to me. Like a HHH blueblood.

I want Balor to turn heel after a year or two on the main roster, and become straight up Real Rock'n Roller, and drop the paint until his eventual face turn. Then as a heel he wins King of the Ring, and doesn't adopt the king gimmick, but just calls himself Prince Balor.

Nah. "Finn Bálor" is probably one of my favorite new names to come out of NXT.

Only because it opens up the possibility that (God forbid), if he's ever released, he can go back to the indies as The Artist Formerly Known as Prince Balor.

I'm just waiting for Michael Cole to mistakenly tell us that Balor means warrior in Gaelic

The name "Finn Balor" itself is a pretty good wrestling name imo.
Prince Balor would be fine too but Finn Balor is good.
