Recently on his Instagram account, current NXT Champion Finn Balor posted a fan picture which teased “The Demon” aligning with legendary manager Paul Heyman.
Fans crossing their fingers for a potential Balor-Heyman partnership will be disappointed to hear what the champ had to say during a recent appearance on the “PodNasty Wrestling Podcast,” though:
“I’m a big admirer of Paul, and I’ve had a lot of conversations with Paul about what we could do potentially in the future but it’s all hypothetical at the moment. That was some incredible, incredible fan art that I’m very fortunate that people send me all the time and I like to publicize some of their work and that’s literally all that was. A lot of people read into it their own way, and I apologize for that. But who knows, I will be in Brooklyn for NXT Takeover, I believe SummerSlam is in Brooklyn the next night, I believe Raw is in Brooklyn the next night so I’ll be in Brooklyn. Who knows?”
Balor will defend the NXT Championship in a Ladder match against Kevin Owens at “NXT Takeover: Brooklyn” on Aug. 22 at the Barclays Center.
