Finn Balor has been enduring a rough patch in his career recently. After a tough loss to Gunther at Saturday Night’s Main Event, he also dropped his World Tag Team Championships on Raw this week. Following these setbacks, Balor had a major meltdown after Raw went off the air, blaming Damian Priest for his recent failures.
In a recent clip shared by WWE after Raw, Finn Balor appeared visibly agitated over his recent string of failures. With an intense gaze, The Prince vented his frustration about falling short in his quest to become a double champion. He pointed fingers at Damian Priest, accusing The Punisher of repeatedly interfering in his business and derailing his aspirations.
Furthermore, the 43-year-old star was visibly distraught after losing the World Tag Team Titles to The War Raiders. Adding to the tension, Balor had a heated confrontation with Liv Morgan prior to the match, intensifying the pressure on him to prove his worth within The Judgment Day. However, with yet another major loss under his belt, The Prince’s position in the faction now appears to be in jeopardy.
Priest. Priest, this is all your fault. It wasn’t supposed to be this way. I was supposed to have two belts! And now I have got none. Because of Priest!

Additionally, reports suggest that WWE is planning a massive push for the former Universal Champion in 2025, making Balor’s path forward increasingly unpredictable. With tensions growing between him and The Judgment Day, speculation is mounting about his future. This could pave the way for a potential singles run for the Irish star next year on Raw, especially as the brand transitions to Netflix.
ECW Legend Sabu points out massive flaw in Finn Balor’s presentation in WWE
Finn Balor has been a part of WWE for over a decade, achieving notable success as a multi-time NXT Champion and a former United States Champion. However, he has often been overlooked in WWE’s main event scene. Recently, ECW legend Sabu shared his thoughts on Balor’s talent and how the company has presented him over the years.
In an interview with Covalent, the 60-year-old veteran praised Finn Balor’s incredible talent, acknowledging his success on a global scale. However, he criticized WWE’s handling of Balor’s presentation, claiming the company has consistently failed to showcase him effectively. The former ECW star further remarked that Balor is no longer the performer he was a decade ago.
Finn Balor, but then they programmed him to be one of them. Nothing against it. Nothing personal. But he’s not the same. I could see when things didn’t go right, it didn’t bother him. Same with me. When things didn’t go right, that was my best stuff.

Sabu’s comments hold some truth, though it’s worth noting that Balor made history by becoming the first-ever Universal Champion in WWE back in 2016. However, his reign was cut short due to a shoulder injury that sidelined him for almost a year. While The Prince eventually returned to the company, his standing on the main roster was never quite the same.
