Finn Balor recently spoke with TV Insider & The Miami Herald‘s Scott Fishman before his WWE Universal Title match at the WWE Royal Rumble on Sunday. Balor spoke about relying on “The Demon” too much and getting respect from John Cena after their fatal-four way match on RAW. Quotes are below:
Finn Balor on relying too much on his ‘Demon’ persona:
“I feel like maybe I leaned on ‘The Demon’ a little much in the past with regards to heavily relying on and hiding behind the paint.”
On John Cena giving him respect after RAW match and if it was a ‘passing the torch’ moment:
“I think it would be a big torch to carry, being from the greatest of all time,” Bálor responded. “That was an impromptu, unplanned, classic John Cena moment. Obviously, John is someone I’ve looked up to since he came on the scene in WWE. When I came to NXT, he was someone who I spoke to and looked to for advice.
“He was someone who has always been there for me through my journey in NXT and in WWE. Him being the professional role model that he is for all of us. He continued to do that in the ring. I’m humbled by his words. Hopefully, I won’t let him down going forward in the future.”
