Finn Balor Praises Becky Lynch, Comments On His Relationship With Vince McMahon

Finn Balor seems to have stumbled upon the biggest push of his career. This Sunday, Finn will battle Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship. Of course, Finn was the inaugural Universal Champion but had to relinquish the belt immediately due to injury.

Finn recently spoke to TV Insider about his Royal Rumble opportunity, his relationship with Vince McMahon, and the success of his compatriot Becky Lynch. Below are some highlights:

Finn On Becky Lynch:

“I’m incredibly proud,” Bálor said on Lynch’s resurgence. “Becky has always had that in her the moment she walked into the wrestling gym I was coaching at. She was 14 and lied about her age so she could train. She has had that in her.

“To see it flourish and blossom in recent months, she has really found herself and step into the person we all knew she was. It’s tremendous. I think she has a very bright future, and I’ll be watching front row.”

Finn On His Match At Royal Rumble:

“This is David vs. Goliath and David was a man. Finn Bálor is a man. And Finn Bálor is going to walk in to face the Beast. People laughed at David when he said he was going to stand up to Goliath. I’m sure there are people laughing at me, but we will see who is laughing when the Beast is slain at the Royal Rumble.”

Finn On His Relationship With Vince McMahon:

“I got to be honest, I’m not sure what my relationship is with Vince McMahon. I’m not sure if he believes in me or not,” Bálor said candidly. “He can be a man of few words. When I show up to work, I find out what I need to do and go handle my business in the ring.

“That’s kind of how I’ve handled my career for the last 18 years. I’m not the type of guy who is going to be knocking on doors trying to pitch storylines and work inside angles. I’m just going to show up and do my job. I will say he has shown nothing but respect to me face-to-face, but that is as far as our relationship goes.”
