4. Finn Balor Talks About Doing The DX Crotch Chop At TNA HQ, Why Moving To Main Roster Might Be A Step Back
During a recent interview on the Sam Roberts Wrestling Podcast, NXT Champion Finn Balor promoted the NXT Takeover: London event, where he will defend the NXT Championship against Samoa Joe. Below are the highlights from the interview:
Why moving to the main WWE roster might be a step back from being in NXT:
“I really believe that what we’re doing here in the WWE Performance Center and what we’re doing with NXT is something that’s going to be remembered for years. I feel like to get quote, unquote called up to the main roster would be, maybe, like a step back for my career right now. Obviously, instant gratification, you get called up to the main roster, that’s great, but I think what we’re doing here in NXT will stand longer in history as kind of like a revolutionary period and to kind of pull myself out of that would be detrimental to my career in the long term.”

“Everyone kind of took it for what it was and it was just a bit of fun. It was literally a complete potluck. We arrived in Nashville, they dropped us off at a gym because we had four hours to kill, and the gym was below the TNA office. By coincidence, the bus pulled up right outside the sign. I was like, ‘that’s the TNA sign!’” Bálor added, “all the boys were busy pulling their bags out from under the bus and stuff and I had one thing on my mind: retweets.”
