• Former Universal Champion Was Exhausted By Backstage WWE Politics In 2019

Former WWE Universal Champion Finn Balor went back to NXT in 2019 (when NXT went head-to-head with AEW Dynamite) and had one more reign as the NXT Champion.

During an appearance on My Love Letter to Wrestling podcast, Balor talked about being exhausted of the WWE backstage politics in 2019 and that going to NXT helped him.

Below is what he said:

“I think [my prime is] yet to come. I feel like, I had got a little bit stale and I was just kind of like — I was tired, I was exhausted.

I was kind of like worn out by dealing with the politics and the office and the writers and everything that goes with it and I just had enough.

When I returned to NXT, I really feel like that rejuvenated me in the ring and one thing I feel that helped in all the negative effects of the pandemic.”
