WWE Summerslam Fallout: Finn Balor makes it clear he has zero regrets in turning on Damian Priest image

Finn Balor might have just initiated a revenge tour of his very own, inspired by (and manipulated by) WWE Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan in her destruction of Rhea Ripley’s universe. Balor and his not-so-quietly seething disdain for the leadership of Damian Priest over the past several weeks — it all coming to a head at Summerslam.

So when Priest put his hands on Balor in a rage looking for Dominik Mysterio following the “Dirty” one’s betrayal of Rhea Ripley to open the premium live event, despite Balor alleging they were cool, they were actually anything but.

That was discovered when he helped save Gunther from a pinfall and ultimately cost Priest his championship, smirking the entire time afterwards before sleeping like a baby, apparently.

“I woke up in a good mood,” Balor said the next morning. 

Also, it's clear Balor never forgets anything like, say, Priest costing Balor in a match against Seth Rollins for that very belt a few months back.

Between his statement, both literal and figurative, and the one hurled toward Ripley by Morgan on Sunday, it’s suddenly freezing cold in Cleveland in August. The question now becomes a simple one: does Balor reunite with Morgan to once again battle Priest and Ripley as they once did a couple years ago?

We’ll likely get that answer as early as Monday night on WWE RAW.
