3) Finn Balor Was Not At 100% At WarGames
Finn Balor defeated Matt Riddle in a fun match at NXT Takeover: WarGames.
According to Sean Ross Sapp on Fightful Select, Finn Balor was sick prior to the match:
“We’re told Finn Balor was battling an illness prior to his match with Matt Riddle”
My Take: Props to Balor for battling through it. He put on a great performance still and I never would have guessed that he wasn’t at full strength.
2) The Original Plan For Bray Wyatt At Survivor Series
According to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, The Miz was originally supposed to face Bray Wyatt at Survivor Series.
Meltzer also noted that the plan was for Bray to face The Miz again at WWE Starrcade.
Instead, WWE decided to go with Bray vs Daniel Bryan. Bray is also now being advertised to defend his Universal Title against Braun Strowman at Starrcade.
My Take: Wyatt vs Bryan was the better call I think. WWE hasn’t done much with The Miz as of late and he isn’t a believable challenger. They should build Miz up with some wins before they put him against Bray.
