Finn Balor was added to Team RAW on last night’s go-home episode before Survivor Series this weekend. Now Balor joins Braun Strowman, Bobby Lashley, Drew McIntyre, and Dolph Ziggler on Team RAW. Initially, WWE Hall Of Famer Kurt Angle was penciled in for Balor’s spot on Team RAW, per PWInsider.
However, Angle was instead destroyed by McIntyre on last week’s episode of RAW. Mike Johnson of PWInsider Audio reports that Angle was, in fact, planned to be on Team RAW instead of Balor. Johnson noted that “for whatever reason,” WWE decided to write Angle off storylines for now. After Angle was destroyed by McIntyre on TV, announcers noted the possibility of Angle’s in-ring career being over.
There are currently no indications that is the case and could stricly be storyline-based. Recent reports suggested that Angle was training hard for his return to the squared circle. When that return might take place, however, remains to be seen. “The Olympic Hero” has yet to have a big singles match at WrestleMania since returning to the company in 2017.
Perhaps this year he’ll get the big match-up he and fans have been waiting to see.
What do you think of Team RAW as it currently stands?
