The talk of the town ahead of SummerSlam is that Finn Balor will betray The Judgment Day. The reason for this is quite simple: Balor deserves to be at the top again, but he has failed to reach the heights he could have. Balor rose to the pinnacle of the business in 2016 when he won the inaugural WWE Universal Champion at SummerSlam, but he has remained in the middle of the show since then.

Fans have suggested that Finn Balor’s betrayal could come soon at SummerSlam. This could pave the way for a storyline where he could challenge Damian Priest for the World Heavyweight Championship in a personal feud. This might be a booking that WWE can carry off in the long run. Not only that, but The Judgment Day star has a history with Liv Morgan, which provided insights as to why this was possible.

This turn for Balor might happen if he can align himself with Morgan at SummerSlam and help her retain the Women’s World Championship. As you are aware, Balor and Morgan have a history with the Bullet Club, and they were previously united in opposition to the group in which Balor is presently involved.

However, given that Finn Balor currently has the WWE Tag Team Championship alongside JD McDonagh, he could convince his teammate to join forces with him to move on to bigger and better things. Morgan was the one who helped both of them grab the Championships after distracting R-Truth. Therefore, Balor and potentially JD could convey their gratitude in a twisted way.

Not only that but JD McDonagh was once spotted conversing with the WWE Women’s champion in the background during one of the Raw segments. All of this leads to the possibility that this turn will occur at SummerSlam.

Rhea Ripley could already have a glimpse of Finn Balor’s betrayal

As we have all noted, Damian Priest was the only one who checked on Rhea Ripley while she was gone. Ripley, on the other hand, did not speak with Balor or JD about the developments that occurred in her absence. This implies that The Eradicator hasn’t given due attention to the developments occurring in the faction involving McDonagh and Balor. This could lead the way for a betraray since Ripley’s lack of focus may be ideal for Morgan to brainwash Balor and JD into switching teams.

Moreover, Liv Morgan could be using Dominik Mysterio just as a distraction for Ripley so that she can execute her actual plan. Finn Balor’s admirers have a lot of optimism for him, and they believe that now is the time for him to get the recognition he deserves.
