Backstage Update on Plans for Finn Balor at “Beast in the East”

As we exclusively reported last week, the current plan in WWE is for Finn Balor to defeat Kevin Owens to capture the WWE NXT Title at the “Beast in the East” Network special on Saturday.

According to The Wrestling Observer, the belief in WWE is that Owens is pretty finished with his run in NXT and will be exclusively working main roster events following the Tokyo show. We also noted there is a very good chance Owens will defeat John Cena at Battleground to become the new United States Champion.
