Finn Balor was reportedly a last minute inclusion to the RAW Survivor Series team

Finn Balor impressed RAW Commissioner Stephanie McMahon after a victory against Dolph Ziggler on RAW which in turn earned him a place on the 5-man RAW Survivor Series team.

 


 

As per Mike Johnson of PWInsider, Balor was initially not planned to be included in the team with Kurt Angle taking the spot. But, as seen on RAW last week Drew McIntyre made Angle tap out to the Olympic Gold Medallist’s submission move. The defeat ensured that Angle won’t be the captain of the red brand’s team.

Johnson also added that the WWE Hall Of Famer is being taken off storylines for now. He said:

“As you saw, Finn Balor was added to the Survivor Series men’s elimination match on the show. I don’t know what the cause and effect was for the change but a week ago, the plan was for Kurt Angle to be in that match, not Finn Balor.”

“So for whatever reason, they decided with the Drew McIntyre match that they were writing Kurt out of storylines for now and Finn Balor was going to be the one to take his place.”
