I have never had more fun than I had at wrestlemania years ago. And I *really* did not want to go. I had to be pried from my seat to leave early. Still mad about it. https://t.co/19sCNADHZg

.@ChrissyTeigen We’re sorry you had to leave early! Consider this your official invitation to #WrestleMania34 in #NOLA this year! @TripleH said to let him know if anyone tries to make you leave early this time! They’ll have a whole locker room to deal with! https://t.co/9A7Eewoliy

• Raw Star Looking To Create Another Gimmick In The Future
During a recent appearance on “Table For 3” on the WWE Network, former Universal Champion Finn Balor revealed that he’s looking to create another gimmick in the future.
Below are the highlights:
On hiding his insecurities by putting on face paint and doing the “Demon King” gimmick:
“It’s very hard to explain. It’s almost like putting on a mask protects you from people’s judgments and lets you completely flow freely, like, with all your aggression and our animosity against anything. And I think everyone, deep down, has insecurities issues, especially in this business.
And I find that maybe getting to hide behind the paint, so to speak, kind of protects you from those insecurities and helps me channel a different side of my personality that isn’t always available to me.”
On creating another gimmick/alter-ego in the future:
“Obviously, seeing you guys (The Hardy Boyz) continue to evolve the last 25 years, that inspires me to keep evolving my character.
And I’m quite happy with how I’m doing at the moment, but I’m always trying to push myself to create something new and I think my main goal going forward over the next five, 10 years would be maybe create another alter ego like you guys have.”
