If fans thought that Finn Balor's debut in World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) was huge, it will be nothing compared to what the company has in store for him in WWE SummerSlam 2016.

According to the latest reports, Balor will to continue his winning streak ever since he joined the show and ultimately become the first WWE Universal Champion.

Bleacher Report says that while it is easy to imagine Dean Ambrose retaining his WWE Championship belt while Seth Rollins winning the newly-created title in the spirit of juxtaposition, making Balor the first Universal Champion will be far interesting.

It would not be much of a risk for WWE, especially since Balor has proved himself to be capable of a championship reign. The former NXT superstar has gained a lot of fans following his debut, all of them now rooting for him for a big WWE SummerSlam win.

Bleacher Report says that there's nothing better than starting off the all-new Universal Championship with an upset by Balor. It will also make for a successful pay-per-view event.

It will also serve to boost the Demon King ever further, should it is WWE's plan to bring him to the top. It should also help Rollins, in a way, as per Daily DDT.

With Balor being projected as the inferior fighter carrying only an NXT championship reign as opposed to The Architect who has won the WWE Championship several times, WWE fans will feel like Rollins was beat up by the little guy and have them rooting for him.

Meanwhile, it is believed that ending the SummerSlam match between Balor and Rollins in a controversial way will get the rivalry for the title going.

That means that a clean loss is not going to happen. Rollins can be made full-heel at the match by cheating his way into the championship. Balor can pull the same trick.

For this feud to go on and for the Universal Championship to remain central, the SummerSlam match just can't end without hullabaloo so this could be the best way to make that happen.
