Former Champion Deeply Hurt After Being Left Off WrestleMania

WrestleMania is WWE’s biggest show of the year so it makes sense that everyone on the roster hopes to land a spot on the show. In recent years WrestleMania has been a two night event, but there are still a number of stars who don’t end up getting featured on the show.

Former Universal Champion Finn Balor hasn’t been part of the WrestleMania card over the last few years, and he noted during an appearance on the Cheap Heat podcast that he was hurt over the fact that he wasn’t involved with WWE’s biggest show of the year.

“Last year, I wasn’t involved in Mania and I’ll be honest, that deeply hurt. Deeply hurt. The fact that I show up for every TV, every house show, every overseas tour, every media appearance. Then, to be left off two nights of WrestleMania, that hurt. I definitely want to be involved with Clash at the Castle.

I only found out about SummerSlam on Monday. There’s no real, ‘Hey, you’re going to be in this match in three months. You’re going to be in this match in six weeks.’ It’s literally, you find out the week before sometimes. Sometimes, you guys find out before I do because you see it on the TV and I’m in the locker room. Absolutely, I want to be involved in whatever way I can. To have a singles match would be incredible. Having spent six years at the start of my career in the United Kingdom, to get to go back and wrestle in a stadium would be incredible.”

Balor went on to say that he does think he has a bit of a chip, but he definitely wants to be part of Clash at the Castle and he’s interested in facing Rey Mysterio in a singles match.
