Finn Balor Explains Why He Was Hesitant to Join Another Stable After Bullet Club, What Changed His Mind

Before joining WWE, Finn Balor found a lot of success as Prince Devitt in NJPW as the leader of Bullet Club, a top faction that is still going to this day.

Balor is once again in a faction, the first one since his Bullet Club run, and while at one point in his career, he didn’t think he would be part of another faction, things changed.

While speaking with Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated, Balor talked about why he was always hesitant to get in another group and what changed to join The Judgment Day alongside Damian Priest, Rhea Ripley, and Dominik Mysterio.

“Having had success with BULLET CLUB, I knew there was going to be comparisons made had I been involved in another group, so I was always reluctant to go that direction. However, when the chance to work with Damian (Priest) was presented, I didn’t hesitate for a second. Damian and I have always had a very good relationship since we met at NXT, and I felt that this group could be something completely different. For me personally, I was at a point in my career where I knew that something had to change. So the timing of this was perfect, and very similar to my NJPW turn. Finally, I could channel my real frustrations I was feeling into the character, and I had no doubt that this was the right move.”

Balor will challenge Seth Rollins for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship this Saturday at SummerSlam.
