Finn Balor Thought WWE NXT Needed To Change

In a recent appearance on After the Bell with Corey Graves, Finn Balor explained that he feels WWE NXT had to change:

“I think it was needed. I don’t want to say it was getting stale, but having been there for about a year and a half into my second run, I felt like all the matches had taken place, or like it was going on like a cycle over and over again, and that something needed to change.

“I feel like pretty much as soon as I left, the 2.0 came in, and it was a completely new crop of superstars, you know, young, fresh people. As a fan, like when I was younger, I never took joy out of seeing the same matches, or the same people every week. I was always hungry like, ‘Hey, who’s this new guy? What’s his backstory? Where did he come from? Oh, I wonder what moves he does?’ I was so curious about wanting to learn about these new guys. I feel like for me as a fan, that’s what I want.”

Balor also explained that this freshness is more important than the idea of a wrestler 'paying their dues', and that he particularly enjoyed last year's WarGames event.
