When WWE placed five of their top stars of Raw – Roman Reigns, Finn Balor, Seth Rollins, Samoa Joe, and Bray Wyatt – in the main event of the Extreme Rules pay-per-view, the plan was to eventually have just about every participant face Brock Lesnar in a singles match leading into WrestleMania 34, with Reigns competing against Lesnar in New Orleans.
Samoa Joe is vying for the WWE Universal Championship at Great Balls of Fire, and WWE teased that Finn Balor was going to get an opportunity to win his title back in the coming months. There has even been speculation by PWInsider that Rollins is going to headline Survivor Series against Lesnar, for the purposes of further promoting WWE 2K18, similar to what spawned the Goldberg/Lesnar match last year.
However, according to the Wrestling Observer Radio, the planned title match for Balor has apparently been scrapped.
The Wrestling Observer Newsletter also reported that the match between Reigns and Lesnar looks to be moved up to SummerSlam, with the logic behind it being that WWE would have someone who could defend the title more frequently than Lesnar is now. This would most likely put Reigns as the victor of his match against Strowman at GBOF. As a result, it changes plans on Balor getting his title match against Lesnar.
Rollins, however, could still have a match for the title to promote the game. On the contrary, Balor does not have that kind of insurance to guarantee a title match if Reigns wins.

Man it is complete horseshit that Balor didn't get a shot at his title right upon his return. He should have been the first in line for it since he never lost it. SMH.

Main Event

What a load of shit. Should have had it straight away when he returned. That or he should have gone straight to number one contender. He even mentioned it recently as well and they completely blew over it with the other guys saying that they all deserve a chance. Think not actually losing the belt puts him ahead of any of their claims. To completely skip over it though is awful. Even if he loses his rematch, people just want to see him have it because he didn't lose the title.

Exactly. It is just tying up loose ends. I hate stuff like Bray Wyatt not getting his rematch for the title that he lost. Now this situation with Finn Balor. Somewhere down the line now they will probably have Finn go for the title using the same excuse that he never lost the title in the first place. But by then it'll seem random and way to late. I don't even care if he loses to Lesnar. They could play up the underdog role with Finn against Lesnar, even have it seem like Finn has no chance in the world. Then Finn does better against Lesnar than anyone expected, he could look strong in defeat.

Mid Card

Finn Balor would get absolutely decimated by Brock Lesnar. Kofi Kingston would put up more of a fight.

Once a man would spend a week patiently waiting if he missed a stage coach, but now he rages if he misses the first section of a revolving door.

Even if that's the case he should still get his rematch for continuity sake.
