At NXT Takeover 2, it was announced that WWE would not be allowing Kenta to keep his well known name, instead opting to have him change it to Hideo Itami so Vince & Co would own the rights to his name and merchandise. If Kenta had to change his name, that only meant one thing for their other two immensely huge signings: They would have to change their names as well.

While we’re still anticipating the announcement of a newly christened Kevin Steen, the wait is over for Fergal —Prince— Devitt, as the WWE gave him his new in-ring name: Finn Balor.

It’s not entirely clear where the name came from yet. With Kenta, he said Hideo Itami was inspired by one of his idols/mentors in Japan, but I’m a little let down by the reveal. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t hate it, but it’s not what I was expecting. Finn is a name that only reminds me of one thing and it doesn’t scream intimidating: Glee. I wouldn’t be surprised if much like Cesaro and Rusev, Finn Balor becomes simply Balor in the very near future; because his first name doesn’t sound strong. That was the sole reason why Antonio Cesaro and Alexander Rusev lost their first names within a year of being on the main roster. On the opposite end of the spectrum, Balor is a demon, which just makes his name that much cooler to me — mainly because there are a lot of angles that could be done with that type of name, no matter how ludicrous they are.

One thing that I instantly thought of when I heard his name was introducing him as being either The Undertakeror Kane‘s son. Having a name inspired by a being from hell is something that could easily be slid into that storyline — even if neither one is full-time anymore and it’s been 17 years since the Brothers Of Destruction story began. It’s beyond a long-shot, but it’s something that immediately popped in my head, because I would be excited to see something like that happen to carry the legacy of two obvious Hall Of Famers beyond DVDs and the WWE Network. If Balor could be introduced by Undertaker, his cementing in the main event scene would happen instantly, without any need for buildup; and because of his in-ring talent, he wouldn’t let fans down in the slightest once getting there. As I said in here, there’s absolutely no way this will happen, but it’s easily justifiable and would go a long way towards building up another main event in a very short amount of time.

If WWE could get Undertaker to come out to announce his retirement, only to have Sting show up and challenge him to a final match at WrestleMania 31, I think the entire WWE Universe would freak out; but then Undertaker would come out on the Raw after WM31 to genuinely retire only to stop himself at the end of his speech to say there’s one more thing he has to show us. He then mentions he has one more part to his legacy he wants to leave us, turning and pointing towards the stage, where the lights go out, the gong strikes again and Taker’s music begins to play. The Undertaker’s patented monks begin to walk across the stage and down the ramp, carrying an all too familiar casket, bringing it all the way down to the ring and placing it in front of Undertaker. He then opens it up and there Balor sits up, gets out with his full body paint on, done up just like the demon he’s capable of being in the ring, looks his “father” in the eye and then towards the crowd where the show fades to black.

If that wouldn’t make every single fan get goosebumps and instantly love the guy, I don’t know what else would. WWE is about making new stars while respecting the old, so having ‘Taker win his last match and then come out on Raw to not only retire for good and receive the love and admiration he’s well earned from the fans, but to also introduce the next generation, there would be almost no greater moment in the last 20 years than to see something like that.
