Also the based Copester apparently pushed for him to go over which I personally believe because back in the days of the E&C podcast, long before Edge ever had a clue he could wrestle again, he had listed off a few names that he wished he would've had a chance to work with. Balor was one of them. Not to mention Finn had so much momentum coming out of that match and feud still that even though he lost he still ended up in a WHC match that following Summerslam
