Top WWE Star Officially Leaves RAW

A top WWE star has officially left RAW. The star in question is Finn Balor.

Balor was recently involved in a storyline with The Judgment Day, where the heel faction betrayed him and ousted him from the group. His revenge arc as a babyface saw him defeat Dominik Mysterio and JD McDonagh in Street Fight matches at WrestleMania 42 and on Monday Night Raw (May 18), respectively.

Now that Balor is done with The Judgment Day business on Monday Night Raw, he has been traded to Friday Night SmackDown. WWE recently unveiled the King of the Ring tournament bracket, where Balor was listed as a SmackDown star.

During a commercial break segment that featured Byron Saxton’s interview with Judgment Day’s Dominik Mysterio & JD McDonough on this week’s RAW episode in Turin, Italy, it was confirmed that Balor has officially been shifted from RAW to SmackDown.

In the first round match of the King of the Ring tournament, Balor will face Jey Uso, LA Knight, and Royce Keys. The winner will then advance to the next level to face either Seth Rollins, Je’Von Evans, Talla Tonga, or Ricky Saints in the semifinals.
