Balor should have gone heel.

["Gizzark" Mike Wronglevenay]

Everything about Balor's gimmick, especially since he started doing a more long-winded entrance, wearing a douchey leather jacket, flashing the belt like a heel and has the cold, dead eyes of a great white shark, screams 'turn me heel.' Instead Joe turned on him.

I know it's tough doing the smaller heel against the bigger, killer babyface, but I really think Balor should have been the one to turn.

[Mayonnaise]

Yup. Thought all along and said all along it should have been him. Him going paranoid over his title and the little things he does as you explained would have actually given him some character. Plus it make the Demon crap mean something other than Jeff Hardy cosplay.

[Raskovnik]

Anything to make his gimmick more than just

Don't worry, he'll turn heel randomly before his move to the main roster against the new main event babyface and people will hate it.

[jackswagz]

He's pretty much unanimously cheered and is a big merchandise seller. I don't think a heel turn is needed.

[Big Poppa Pumpkin]

I think he's really good as a babyface soo.. I dunno, I'm sure he will turn heel at some point and it will be great, but there's no rush.

And they'll hate it even more when the person who attacked Itami will be revealed as some random Performance Center mook who heretofore hasn't ever been seen on TV back when the "attack" angle happened.

"Levis Valenzuela, Jr???! BUT WHY???!"

[Sephiroth]

Probably will eventually.

Balor is the perfect one to have attacked Itami.

They've already kind of said that it was Owens despite it not making a ton of sense.

But they can always try and retcon it.

That said it has always been way more likely that Hideo turns heel on Finn and not the other way around.

Hideo brought Finn into the company and Finn quickly surpassed him even getting the Title Opportunity in Hideo's home country.

Are you trying to tell me heel Samoa Joe wrecking fools isn't some of the best shit in all of wrestling right now?

[Raskovnik]

I'd be for a Hideo heel turn as well if it lets him get back his KENTA swagger that he was slowly working to recapture and gets rid of that shitty theme they saddled him with.

Maybe they can get Twista or Jeezy to do his theme. But who wouldn't love Heel Hideo kicking the ever loving shit out of someone?

My wider point is not liking Balor's matches or wanting him to have the title but that is more disputable. So yes I love Joe wrecking fools. I just want him wrecking other fools.

Yeah I can go both ways here. Based on how Hideo acted in Tokyo when Finn won, my guess is Hideo will turn. Still, you can always have that return of Hideo, crowd pops, and I can still see either turning.

Cocky heel Balor would be great. A Nexus 2.0 with heel Balor (no demon), Sami, KO, Joe, Baron and Hideo could've been a fun debut (even if that one move depletes the roster significantly).

But the kids will love Finn on the main roster, his merch will sell, so I don't see him being a heel on Raw, especially the demon prince version.

[Deleted]

I to hoped he turned heel cause I know he's good but so far in nxt he's bored me terribly,he's a bad promo & all I know about his character is he likes lego's & occasionally likes to paint himself up.

[bearned]

It will be interesting to see what they do when Hideo does return - logically you'd have Balor be revealed as the guy who took him out or it could be a good opportunity to debut someone that Balor had jump Hideo.

[Hit Girl]

He's too cool to boo.

Oh, it is by far one of the best things. But I genuinely thought we were getting a Balor heel turn ages ago, with his Douche jacket (He says, owning a jacket almost identical to it) and the flashing of the belt, especially with how paranoid he's been towards other faces (Although it seems he rightfully so.)

I wonder if they'll ever address the fact that they evidently melted the one ring into the gold they used to make the NXT belt, seeing as it corrupts people that hold it. Hell, Owens did Sami a favour really.
