Finn Balor on WrestleMania 33, Demon Persona, WWE Bullet Club, More

Australian news outlet News.com.au had a recent interview with Finn Balor discussing missing Wrestlemania 33, his demon persona, forming a version of Bullet Club in the WWE, and more.

On the topic of missing Wrestlemania 33, Balor revealed he was healed enough to wrestle at the event but WWE decided to save his return for a later date. Stated by the time he was ready to return, WWE already had the entire card for Wrestlemania set and did not have anything left nor time for a possible Balor feud.

“It was quite an interesting scenario, because the reality was I actually was fit and I was ready and I was back wrestling, there was just no space on the card at WrestleMania. Obviously I had done my part in the rehabilitation, but it was kind of too late situating anything to do with the card. There was literally no space left, no opponents left, that was the reality of it.”

When discussing the Demon persona, Balor stated in kayfabe he simply hasn’t found a reason nor need to embrace his dark side since returning to RAW. Been having a lot of fun as his regular self to even consider the idea.

“The Demon character is something I draw on occasion. It’s something that requires a lot of focus to tap into and really requires the right situation for me to sort of draw on that darker side of my personality. Since I’ve been back on Raw, the opportunity hasn’t really presented itself to tap into that side and I’ve had such a good time being back I haven’t wanted to change. I quite like walking out in my sweet new Balor club jacket. popping my collar and being Mr Cool.”

Later in the interview, Balor teased at the possibility of forming a Bullet Club-like group in the WWE in the future. Similar to his demon persona, he currently sees no need to “reassemble the troops” at the moment but left the door open to do so in the future.

“It’s something that comes up every now and again, whether we should reform The Club. To me it was a moment in time. That moment for me was four years ago. A lot has changed in those four years. Myself, Luke, Karl have a lot of history together and AJ (Styles) is on Smackdown, the possibility of perhaps reuniting in the future, sure it’s tasty to a lot of people. I think individually right now we’re all stronger on our own paths. Maybe that will change in the future. We may need to reassemble the troops, but for now I think we’re all doing fine.”

Other stuff discussed during the interview included Balor teasing at wanting a match for the Universal title since he is still owed a rematch, the match with Rollins at SummerSlam 2016 resulting in his shoulder injury, and his abs in general.
