Sports Illustrated had a recent interview with Finn Balor and highlights including the idea of forming a WWE version of Bullet Club and if he thinks Okada will join the WWE in the future.
On the topic of a WWE version of Bullet Club, Balor stated he doesn’t like the idea at the moment and would rather focus more on his current singles career. He feels forming the group soon would be a regression of their careers since they would just be repeating stuff done in the past.
“You know, for us as a group, especially myself and Karl, you know, two of the original members, that was you know, very, it was very much like a moment in time. You know, to kind of like reform that now would be kind of like regressing like in our careers, maybe, so to speak. Maybe going forward in the future that could be a possibility but right now I think we’re both, you know, pretty happy doing our own thing.”
On the topic of Okada’s future involving a career in the WWE, Balor stated he doesn’t think it will happen any time soon but didn’t rule out it happen in the distant future. He stated Okada being backstage for recent WWE shows wasn’t any indication of Okada’s future plans or them trying to persuade him of a future in the WWE but instead, just Okada wanting to visit some of his old friends.
“I don’t know about anytime soon. Possibly, you know, in the distant future. I’m sure, you know, as you say, anything can happen. And nobody thought Finn Balor would be in the WWE. Here I am.
True, Okada was backstage at RAW. He was backstage at SmackDown but it’s because he has a lot of friends there. Myself, Karl Anderson, Shinsuke Nakamura, I think he was just visiting friends so I wouldn’t read too much into that.”
