This is interesting considering Edge recently appeared at NXT to tease a potential challenge for the title at Mania. This report also gives away the result of Balor’s match with Pete Dunne at the upcoming NXT TakeOver. However, there is no word on who his opponent could be if the match does take place at the Grandest stage of all.
There is a good chance he may face Edge. Although the general consensus at the moment is that the Rated R Superstar will take on Roman Reigns for the Universal title. Balor could potentially face Karrion Kross for the championship.
Kross has been primed for a mega push by the WWE. He never lost the title and could have his rematch come mania. Besides, what better to showcase him to their audience then at the show of shows.
