– Former NXT Champion Finn Balor reflected on his time in NXT and commented on his WWE main roster debut this past Monday night on RAW. He posted this:
“To have been a part of the team that helped NXT become what it is now is without question my proudest accomplishment. Raw on Monday was the result of 16 years of hard work, preparation & a lot of help from a LOT of people I’ve been fortunate to learn from. But trust me, I am under no illusion that the hard work is done. Monday was 1 night, This Is Just The Beginning and And if it takes another 16 years to get where I want to be, at the very top, that is what I am willing to give. I AM ALL IN #Real.”
