Rumors have been swirling that NXT Superstar Finn Balor is moving up to the WWE's Main Roster soon, possibly this Sunday at Payback. And I, in all honesty, kind of doubted it was going to happen until Summer Slam time, but it appears the move will be coming WAY sooner than that.

First off, Balor's Bullet Club buddies have arrived and inserted themselves into the WWE title picture. Secondly, the WWE has been teasing him moving up for the past week or two...which generally is how they introduce NXT guys to the WWE Universe. And Finally, he just dropped his NXT title to Samoa Joe.

Balor is scheduled to take on Joe in a rematch at the next NXT takeover, but that doesn't mean he's not moving up. Sami Zayne, Kevin Owens, Neville and others have pulled double duty. And, for a long time, Finn has been the face of NXT but he doesn't need to be in that role any more. WWE has signed lots of top notch talent for NXT including Nakamura, Austin Aries and Eric Young.

Here are the way I see things shape up: AJ and Roman have one hell of a match. Roman nails AJ with a Spear, but is hurt and recovering in the ring. Music we've never heard hits. Out marches Gallows, Anderson...they pause...and out comes Finn. Roman is staring at the ramp. AJ hits Roman with the Phenomenal Forearm for the win.

Then, on Monday, AJ cuts a promo saying he didn't need their help to win. Bullet Club turns on AJ and beats that ass which starts a long term rivalry between AJ and Finn.
