This could be a turning point for the Demon King who was shifted back to NXT from RAW due to a lack of opportunities. However, since returning to the Black and Gold brand, nothing special has still happened.
Since his loss to Keith Lee in the triple threat match featuring Johnny Gargano as well, Balor has been absent from WWE tapings. A victory in the triple threat match could revive his career.
