WWE star Finn Balor recently spoke with Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated for an interview covering all things pro wrestling. During the discussion, Balor talked about why he was always hesitant to join another faction and what pushed him to join The Judgment Day with Damien Priest, Rhea Ripley, and Dominik Mysterio.
Balor said, “Having had success with BULLET CLUB, I knew there was going to be comparisons made had I been involved in another group, so I was always reluctant to go that direction. However, when the chance to work with Damian (Priest) was presented, I didn’t hesitate for a second. Damian and I have always had a very good relationship since we met at NXT, and I felt that this group could be something completely different. For me personally, I was at a point in my career where I knew that something had to change. So the timing of this was perfect, and very similar to my NJPW turn. Finally, I could channel my real frustrations I was feeling into the character, and I had no doubt that this was the right move.”
Balor will face Seth Rollins for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam this Saturday.
