WWE is on the verge of a massive transition in 2025. With the $5 billion move to Netflix, WWE is planning several changes. This includes the top faces of the company moving forward. Recent reports indicate that former Universal Champion Finn Balor is a leading candidate to receive a significant push, positioning him as a key figure in WWE’s evolving landscape.

According to WrestleVotes on Backstage Pass, the 43-year-old has excelled both on-screen and behind the scenes, earning praise within WWE. His professional attitude and leadership have solidified his reputation as a true locker room leader over the past year. As a result, WWE plans to give him a major push on the main stage next year, aiming to further cement his status as a top star.

The Prince is currently embroiled in a heated feud with Gunther over the World Heavyweight Championship on Raw. Apparently, WWE is not planning a title change at this moment, igniting speculation that Balor will face a defeat in his match at Saturday Night’s Main Event. However, this battle with The Ring General could be the catalyst for his future main event push.

Moreover, Balor is likely to be involved with Damian Priest at WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas. Therefore, he will most likely stay away from the World Title scene up until April. However, he could be the anchor of the main event scene on Raw after the event and potentially claim a World Title reign for the first time in over 9 years in WWE.
