Dude's Intercontinental Champion, and I SHOULD BE HAPPY. But INSTEAD, WWE loves to do stupid unnecessary bullshit, and to drag out this feud even more, Balor wins his first official singles title (That he didn't have to give up the next day), beating Lio Rush, instead of Lashley.
It's such a hollow victory, and who does it help? No one. Makes the belt look like shit, makes Balor look weak, just... why is it so hard for Balor to beat Lashley straight up?
It's getting to the point where I think Vince's promos about him are true. Like seriously he went from beating Cena clean, to losing to Lesnar, getting his shit pushed in by Lesnar, forgetting about it, and then beating a dudes lackey for a belt.
It just depresses me... Finn doesn't deserve this shit man. We could have had Demon vs Beast at Mania and instead he's just shafted... again. Can't wait to see him get his weekly RAW ass kicking, because YOU KNOW IT'S HAPPENING.

Every time I see Finn Balor it just makes me really miss Prince Devitt.

I really don't see the issue. Finn won with a two-on-one disadvantage by aiming at the lesser target. It didn't make him look weak, it made him look smart.

If Vince’s promo on Balor was true, he wouldn’t have won that fatal four way, he wouldn’t won that universal title in the first place, and he wouldn’t be IC Champion right now.
I may not like Balor’s Booking, but it’s so obvious that they see something in him to give him all this stuff. Maybe not to be the ace of the company, but they clearly value his work.
My guess is Lashley is hunting Bálor solo and will lose to him at Fastlane or Mania.

Save Finn/BUHBY DUHMINADE for WM and make it some sort of specialized match.
Even if it would work better if Balor was chasing and not being chased.

You're just now thinking that Vince promo might be true? I'm honestly sucked it has taken this long did you to only think of could be true. I would have thought it was obvious when they did nothing with him for over a year despite being over like mad or at least giving him a throw away title match to close off that whole "no rematch" thing from never losing the title. Vince sees nothing in him.

Vince sees nothing in him. I can't agree with that. Maybe Vince doesn't see him as ABSOLUTE TOP GUY material but he sees him as a strong hand, someone who can reliably be plugged into a main event feud without there being a big issue, and who can definitely be one of his upper midcard stars and Intercontinental guys at very worst.

He won a 2 on 1 match, where is the "weakness"
He played it smart and walked out with the title

I feels like every time he gets close he gets DQed or there's some sort of contingency plan. I also guess knowing this feud will continue just sucks... Balor with the belt could lead to an interesting feud if it ISNT Lashley though.

If Balor had refused the pin on Rush so he could “do the honorable thing” and gone after Lashley, we’d be rightly putting him down for not taking the obvious opportunity for the win.

I'm just glad he's at least got something rather than nothing.

As a Finn Balor fan I could care less HOW he won it. He won, thank God

Maybe you should take a break if so many different things make you so mad.

Finn is my favorite male babyface on the roster right now and he's just an afterthought.
They could do so much more with him and they're just not.
I don't care for Vince McMahon.

Honestly I get the sense they're going to almost immediately move it to Corbin or McIntyre.

Winning the IC Title genuinely doesn't feel like an accomplishment any more. You can almost guarantee he either loses it in a fortnight or he carries it for months but does nothing with it.
The WWE is just so bad at building any storylines or superstars. I still don't know what Balor's character is, other than plucky, smiley babyface. I like him as a performer, but the WWE really gives me no reason to.
