Balor was supposed to be moved from RAW to SmackDown once he returned to television after taking time off a few months ago. He was moved to NXT with the idea that his star power could make more of a difference there.Â
Since making his return to NXT, Balor got the wrestling world talking with turning heel by attacking Johnny Gargano.
