The Wrestling Observer Newsletter recently reported the reason behind the abrupt change. Balor was reportedly moved to SmackDown to separate him from Dominik and McDonagh. The creative team seemingly believed that the veteran needed a fresh start after he feuded with The Judgment Day.
Balor was embroiled in a heated rivalry with The Judgment Day before he joined SmackDown. He defeated “Dirty” Dom in a Street Fight at WrestleMania 42. He later had a series of matches against his former mentee, McDonagh, on RAW. Balor won the trilogy with two huge wins over The Irish Ace.
Finn Balor Will Compete in the 2026 King of the Ring Tournament
The 2026 King and Queen of the Ring tournaments kicked off on the latest episode of WWE RAW in Turin, Italy. Top names like Seth Rollins, LA Knight, Bron Breakker, and Finn Balor, among others, are set to compete for the prestigious crown this year. Meanwhile, up-and-coming talents like Oba Femi, Trick Williams, Je’Von Evans, and Ricky Saints will also aim to make a mark in the tournament.
King of the Ring’s first bout saw Oba Femi defeat Solo Sikoa, Carmelo Hayes, and Penta in a Fatal Four-Way Match on RAW. Finn Balor will go up against former champions, such as Knight, Jey Uso, and Royce Keys, as part of the competition.
Balor is on a quest to revive his singles career following his exit from The Judgment Day. Will the King of the Ring Tournament help him reach the pinnacle of SmackDown? Only time will tell.
