Finn Balor Comments on Being NXT Champion, Who Should Be On the Main Roster

Finn Balor recently sat down with British rock magazine Kerrang to promote “NXT Takeover: London,” which will take place on Wednesday, Dec. 16, in London, England. He spoke on a number of topics, including being NXT champion, who should be brought up to the main roster, and more.

Below are some highlights from the interview:

Hey, Finn! You’re essentially the ‘face’ of NXT, being the current NXT Champion – especially all painted-up and in your instantly-recognisable attire. So, how important has NXT been in developing you as a superstar, and how vital is NXT in general for the wrestling world?

“I think NXT has morphed from being developmental into what I consider the most influential brand in all of wrestling, and I think that all of the superstars at NXT have the responsibility to serve everybody in wrestling with the most exciting and ground-breaking product that’s out there right now. I’m very happy to be at the forefront in leading the charge of this wrestling revolution that we’re causing, and I’m very proud to be champion.”

Apart from yourself, of course, who are your top picks from the NXT roster to go onto superstardom in the WWE?

“I think there’s some very obvious ones, like Apollo Crews, but two for me that have really started to stand out in recent times are Jason Jordan and Chad Gable, as a tag team. I think someone who I don’t think gets enough credit is Aiden English, and I think in the future he’s definitely one of the unsung heroes of NXT – and I think he has a very bright future, be it as a tag-team wrestler, as he is currently, or as a singles wrestler in the future.”
