Finn Balor has been enjoying a strong booking as part of The Judgment Day. The heel faction continues to improve with each passing week and it shouldn’t come off as a surprise if all four of its members are draped in gold in the near future.
While speaking to “What Went Down” with BT Sport’s Rob Armstrong, Balor revealed that the Judgement Day character he’s playing now is actually the one he desired to do following his return to WWE NXT.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On his current character arc: “I feel like this was the version of Finn that I wanted to do in NXT, and we couldn’t do it because the crowd had been too attached to me from the previous run, and then the crowd got completely taken out, so there was no chance to even be a heel, to get a heel reaction. So this is kind of what I went back to NXT to do, and three years later, I get to do it properly.”
On working with his Judgment Day stablemates: “It’s been great. Priest is someone who I wasn’t very familiar with, and then we wrestled in NXT, and kind of friends that were forged in war. Rhea’s obviously got this element of cool that’s undefinable. Recently, Dominik has just come into his own. I don’t even know how to explain it, but it’s almost like he’s transcending what his father has done already with the reactions that he’s getting already. But so many helped me in my career that I feel like it’s only fair to pay that forward to these guys.”
