WWE Superstar Finn Balor has opened up on how he felt “deeply hurt” when he was left off the Wrestlemania. Balor quoted it as a painful experience and said that he wishes to wrestle at Clast At The Castle.
Balor was guest on July 30th episode of Peter Rosenberg’s Cheap Heat podcast. He discussed about various topics including future of Judgement Day, his ring gear change, a possible return of the Demon King gimmick and his relationship with Triple H and Vince McMahon.
When asked about whether he’s looking forward to wrestling at ‘Clash At The Castle’ event which would be first UK event at such a large scale since his childhood, Finn spoke of how he hasn’t wrestled on such big events often. He expressed his disappointment about being left off the Wrestlemania card even when the show was two nights.
“I think last year I was involved in Mania and I’ll be honest up, deeply hurt, deeply hurt, the fact that, you know, I show up for every TV, every house, show every overseas tour, you know, every media appearance, and then to be left off two nights of WrestleMania, that hurt. So I definitely want to be involved in Clash of the Castle. I think it’s best, you know. I Only found out about SummerSlam on Monday, so like there’s no real, you know, hey you’re going to be in this match in three months or you’re going to be in this match in six weeks. It’s literally, you find out the week before sometimes. Sometimes, you guys find out before I do because you see it on the TV and I’m in the locker room. Absolutely, I want to be involved in whatever way I can. To have a singles match would be incredible. Having spent six years at the start of my career in the United Kingdom, to get to go back and wrestle in a stadium would be incredible.”
The prince hasn’t wrestled at the “showcase of immortals” since Wrestlemania 34 in 2018 where he faced Rollins and The Miz in a triple-threat match for intercontinental championship. This year Finn was US Champion but still didn’t make it to main show. He instead wrestled on smackdown in Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal where he was last man eliminated. He was later pinned by Austin Theory on the same night.
This is not the first time that Balor has mentioned his Wrestlemania absence. He had previously revealed how he felt sad not to be featured on show after Wrestlemania 37.
Balor didn’t give anything when asked whom he would like to face at the show, saying it’s not in his control. Though Balor said that he would love to have a singles match with Rey Mysterio. While Balor in excited, it will be interesting to see what plan company has for him.
