I’m not actually advocating for Finn Balor World Champion or even that he definitely should have beaten Edge but he’s never been used to his full potential. He’s had stop-start booking and some of the worst creative in the last 10 years (original debut of The Demon King, that whole thing with Sister Abigail, the way he lost to Roman, mostly anything with The Demon).

Take a look at Sami Zayn for a guy on the roster with enough short comings to deny him access to the top of the card that managed to catch fire.
I don’t think any of those points negates what Destor said. He didn’t click 7 years ago, hasn’t really in the past 7 and probably won’t in the next. At least not with a kayfabe win over Edge.

He’s not horrible or anything, but it’s Finn Balor, dude. The best thing about him for the first 8 years of his WWE run was his entrance. It’s possibly topped by him being a sneaky assist to Dominik Mysterio.
