Balor as Kayfabe #1 contender?
By Scott Keith on 22nd December 2017
So the rumor is Vince doesn’t think Balor is over enough to challenge Brock…but didn’t Finn JUST pin AJ clean at TLC?
So in kayfabe terms, if I’m Finn, and I pin AJ clean, and then AJ wins the WWE Championship, wouldn’t I be demanding a shot at the title? Even if he’s on a different show, he has a claim to be #1 contender.
Why not have him win the Rumble and challenge AJ? Why pretend that It never happened?
Because you've gotta keep Kane strong, duh.
