– WWE NXT Champion Finn Balor recently spoke with Kerrang! to promote the current UK tour. The full interview is at this link. Below are highlights:
What is your all-time favourite wrestling entrance? What gets the hairs on your neck standing, without fail?
โStone Cold Steve Austin, when the glass breaks. It just gets you every time, doesnโt matter if itโs a small house show or a big-bang show, just once the glass breaks it gets everyone riled-up, so thatโs easy!โ
Apart from yourself, of course, who are your top picks from the NXT roster to go onto superstardom in the WWE?
โI think thereโs 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 donโt think gets enough credit is Aiden English, and I think in the future heโs definitely one of the unsung heroes of NXT โ 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.โ
So then, to the people heading down to an NXT show, or considering getting down to one, whatโs to be expected?
โWell I always like to describe NXT as more of a rockโnโroll wrestling show. It has that kinda underground, indie feel that I was so accustomed to in the independent circuits that I loved so much. So, for me, itโs been a beautiful coming together of working with the WWE but also still having that raw organic feel of being an independent, so thatโs the one thing that makes NXT so different than anywhere else. Itโs kinda having the hybrid of both very different styles.โ
