In a recent interview with Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated to promote this weekend’s WWE SummerSlam Premium Live Event, WWE RAW superstar Finn Balor discussed several topics, including how he was reluctant to join another group following the success of BULLET CLUB, what changed his mind and more.

“Having had success with BULLET CLUB, I knew there was going to be comparisons made had I been involved with another group, so I was always reluctant to go that direction. 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.”
