oh come on Fan. Barely anyone is watching NXT, and anyone watching NXT isn't going to care about Balor doing the honours on his way out of the territory (which for all intents and purposes it is) and will be more excited that he's beating the #1 guy on his first night. Thus the big reactions to his 2 wins.

Shattup Simplefan!
Everybody knew who Finn Balor was. He's been on WWE Live Specials. Everybody in the arena was doing the lights up thing. NXT isn't the minor leagues. That takes places at the Developmental Center. NXT is a 3rd brand. The only reason they are taking talent out of NXT this quickly is so people don't go "Why isn't this a 3 way way with Raw, Smackdown and NXT." |

The Universal Championship is a New Title where one of the #1 contenders got a by all the way to the finals. Shouldn't hold more prestige over the NXT belt already.

I have no problem with him putting over Nakamura on his way out of NXT as he should. I'd just like to see him have more of a build to getting to the top of the card. I expected a bigger pop than what he actually got though. I'm a fan of his and I feel like he could have got over organically and didn't need to go over 5 top guys right away.

They need a top baby face now not "organically." The two top babyfaces are in trouble for drugs.

I turned Raw on during the fatal 4 way match and thought Sami was in the match for like 5 minutes. I have no fn clue who Balor is. If I don't I am sure 80% of the audience does not either. |

The logo looked a lot better with the full graphics and animations. I like how it's an ode to all of Raw's previous eras.

My brother didn't like it and he's a casual fan. Only follows WWE and really goes with what WWE wants him to. Only thing he knew about Balor was what I had told him of his NJPW days and NXT. He likes Reigns and Cena and wasnt impressed with Balors entrance at all. He thought the things he did with his arms were dumb. He's 22 not 5 like it may seems.

I don't like Balor's attire.
But his Entrance made him seem like a big deal. Same with Eva her entrance makes her seem like a big deal too. |

1. 100 percent of the crowd knew who he was.
2. He was announced as the pick last week so the people who didn't know probably googled him and now they know who he is. Foley made him out to be a huge deal picking him so soon. 3. Shut up Ruien. |

Yeah 100% of the people didn't know him STD not everyone has the network.
YOUR WHITE PRIVILEGE assumes people can just google him when ever they want not realizing that poor black families can't do this. Check your privilege. #BLM #StayWoke |

Balor has worn thin on me. I'm only talking in terms of my subjective opinion as a fan. He's good in the ring and objectively a great talent and probably an awesome dude. That face run just bored me to tears though. But this is how you do something with him. A mid-card run is just going to make him the same as any other guy. If he's going to have a shot, he needs to be presented as a big deal out the gate.
