Current NXT Champion Finn Bálor recently appeared on Sam Roberts’ Wrestling Podcast and during that interview, he was asked if he wants to be called up to the main roster. Here is what he had to say:

“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.”

Sure, Balor. THAT'S the reason why it'd be a step back.

Sure.

If they used him right, it wouldn't be an issue. Finn isn't gonna do shit on the main card. Unfortunately. Probably just like Sami Zayn.
