During an interview on Monday Night Raw this week with JD McDonagh and Dominik Mysterio that aired while many of us saw a commercial break on Netflix, Byron Saxton confirmed the news that Finn Balor has been traded to Friday Night SmackDown:
Balor was listed as a member of the blue brand on the King of the Ring bracket, and that struck everyone as curious, seeing as WWE never formally announced he was making the switch. Doing it this way is awfully strange, all things considered. Is the red brand getting anyone in return? Quite literally zero details have been shared in that regard.
All we have to go on is how they casually mentioned the news in a clip many didn’t even get the chance to see.
Balor will square up against Jey Uso, LA Knight, and Royce Keys in the first round of the King of the Ring tournament. He joins a SmackDown roster that appears wide open for new challengers to Cody Rhodes and the WWE championship.
So maybe this will be a good thing?
