WWE RAW Superstar Finn Balor has said that the COVID-19 pandemic was the most difficult time of his life.
During the pandemic, Balor had returned to WWE NXT, where he would capture his second NXT Championship.
While speaking on the “Out of Character with Ryan Satin” podcast, the Judgment Day member recalled how difficult things were because of personal issues. He said,
“It was the most mentally challenging period of my life without question. Not anything to do with work, it was all like personal stuff.
“Being land locked here in the US, I was also dealing with some visa issues too which couldn’t get resolved because I was landlocked in US because of COVID. You gotta’ go back and do it in the embassy in Ireland. So couldn’t do that.”
Balor added that it wasn’t just him affected by his visa issues at the time.
“My wife got dragged into that same situation because she’s on my visa. It was super challenging. My dad had been sick, I couldn’t see my dad. Couldn’t see my brothers and sisters. Their kids just grew up.”
Balor and Damian Priest will team to face Edge and Rey Mysterio at this weekend’s WWE Clash at the Castle event.
WWE Clash at the Castle 2022 will take place at Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales and will mark WWE’s biggest event in the UK since SummerSlam 1992.
