Finn Balor admits he was hesitant to join another faction after Bullet Club.
Balor is now a member of The Judgement Day, and it feels like he has been with the faction for its entire run in WWE, but only joined the faction to oust former leader Edge.
In a new interview with Sports Illustrated, Balor talked about being reluctant to join another group following the success of Bullet Club in New Japan Pro Wrestling, a faction Balor helped to create.
“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,” says Balor. “However, when the chance to work with Damian 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.”
