Finn Balor spoke to Sports Illustrated about NXT TakeOver: Dallas, who he’s hoping to face in NXT and more. Finn was also asked who he would want to face in a dream match and he said that Shawn Michaels has always been a big influence on him.
“Eddie Guerrero would be phenomenal,” Balor said “but I was always inspired by the HBK, Shawn Michaels.”
Balor also opened up about who he still wants to face in NXT and he revealed that he’s got his eyes in Shinsuke Nakamura and Austin Aries.
“I’ve known Shinsuke a long time. He came here with one thing on his mind, and that is becoming NXT champion. When Shinsuke is ready, Shinsuke will get his opportunity. I came to NXT with my eyes on the NXT championship, so anybody that wants to come to NXT wants the NXT title. And it’s my job fight day in and day out. Austin Aries is here now, Shinsuke Nakamura is here now, and there will be a lot more people here soon with their eye on this title. As soon as they’re ready, then I’m ready.” Balor added.
For months now Finn Balor has been posting Bullet Club teasers on social media. He constantly posts pictures of Doc Gallows and Karl Anderson who are rumored to be making their debuts very soon. Balor was asked about the teasers but he played it cool.
“Don’t you post pictures of your friends on Twitter?” he asked. “So why can’t I post pictures of me and Karl Anderson hanging out?”
Doc Gallows and Karl Anderson were backstage at Raw last night it’s been reported that they will be traveling with WWE throughout the week.
