Balor Out For 6 Months

The fatal 4 way is fine. Don't see why you're complaining. There's still only going to be one winner.

Because 2 don't deserve to be in there imo. And Cass isn't going to win, which is so obvious that I'd prefer them to put someone in that makes you think that any 4 of the guys could easily hold that belt. And it's an odd jump for Reigns. US Title match one night, doesn't even have the actual match and now he's in the Universal Title picture. Makes no sense, just keep him in the Rusev feud and put someone else there.

Personally I wouldn't have booked Rollins against Zayn. Zayn should have gone against someone else and been in there, pushing him into the main event scene.

The winner will be KO.  Finn will return in time for the Rumble, win it, boom!  KO vs Finn Balor WM.

Would totally accept that. Owens would be a great champion, and against Balor at Mania would be match of the night.

Watch them give Big Cass the title and push him way to early. Enzo would be a perfect manager though. Sadly, I see really don't put it past them to put it on Roman... Its the perfect opportunity!

I'm hoping that they have Rusev cost Reigns the win. Seems pointless wasting that feud now after the cop out at SummerSlam. Keep it going. It could end up being a decent feud.

And speaking of Rusev... he's in a match to get a shot at the title. Walks off. They aren't booking him to be a smart person are they...

The only way to salvage that is by having Rusev take out Reigns, and then everyone else, ending the match in a no-contest and holding up both belts as Raw goes off the air.

To be fair he has said on numerous occassions that his US title is more important and that he doesn't care about the Universal title. He also didn't come out in the show opening exchange so it seems like he was put in the match even though he didn't ask for it.

Owens wins! Owens wins! Happy with that. Don't even mind that Triple H helped as even that was well set up and the looks on Stephs and Foley's faces were brilliant. Owens as champion is perfect, a great replacement for Balor. Hopefully he keeps it until Balor returns and sets up Balor vs Owens at Mania. Now that's a Mania match I'd be more than happy to watch.

Told ya.  Stage one complete.   Now they feed him cannon fodder until WM where he will face a Royal Rumble winning Finn.  Finn will then be given his WM moment.

Finn Balor underwent surgery on 8/23 in what was supposed to be a one-hour operation. Instead, it lasted four hours as he not suffered a labrum tear, but also a torn right biceps, pectoral tendon cartilage damage and a a fractured glenoid neck socket. There is an outside chance he could return for Royal Rumble, but it would be a long shot. A return in March in time for WrestleleMania is much more likely.

Dam, that's some injury.

I really hope he doesn't rush it... That sounds potentially career threatening

I'm still calling a royal rumble return.  Have him be the 30th entrant.  Win the rumble and tale it easy up to WM.
