We’ll find out Finn Bálor’s next move… next!

-Commercial Break-

During the commercial break, Dominik Dijakovic had to be helped to the back.

Finn Bálor makes his entrance. Bálor says he’s not a moves guy, an internet guy, or a sneaky, stooge to the office kind of guy. When the bell rings, he is THE guy. Bálor has built brands. Japan? Done it. Mexico? Done it. Intercontinental Championship? Done it. Universal Championship? Done it. NXT Championship? Done it. It’s WrestleMania season and everyone in the business is trying to peak for WrestleMania. He’s been at his peak for 20 years.

The big question is what’s the next move for the Prince? Who is going to get the “Finn rub”? Matt Riddle got it, Johnny Gargano got it… even Ilja Dragunov got it.

All of a sudden, Imperium’s music hits! Fabian Aichner and Marcel Barthel come out to the stage. Barthel says there is one thing Bálor hasn’t done.
