TLC 2018 Finn Bálor v Drew McIntyre

As “General Manager-Elect” Baron Corbin prepares to make an example of his various dissenters. One of his most persistent foils, Finn Bálor, will battle Drew McIntyre in a match that could well serve as a preview for all who oppose The Lone Wolf’s authority.

Bálor’s beef isn’t strictly limited to Corbin, though, as he and McIntyre have crossed paths before in recent weeks. They’ve only come to blows in passing, with McIntyre administering a Claymore Kick to the Irishman and the first-ever Universal Champion returning the favor in the middle of the Men’s Survivor Series Match. The Scottish Psychopath, for the most part, shares the same opinion of Bálor as the GM-elect: He’s too small and too nice to make any kind of an impact. Bálor, of course, is plenty more than meets the eye, and McIntyre — and Corbin — would do well to keep that in mind. Though, admittedly, toppling Drew McIntyre would be a truly extraordinary task, even for him.
