Finn Balor: Roman Reigns Rope Break Angle Was ‘Definitely A Water Cooler Moment’

Finn Balor would like to revisit things with Roman Reigns in the future.

During a recent interview with CBS Sports, Finn Balor reflected on the infamous Roman Reigns rope break angle at Extreme Rules 2021. Balor says the finish led to people still talking about the match, adding that he feels like there’s still enough story to tell between the two.

“It was definitely a water cooler moment with regard to what people were talking about for the next couple of days. We’re still talking about a year later. I feel like the finish left the story open-ended a little bit. I feel like we definitely need to readdress that and revisit what happened that night. Going back to how fast things change in WWE, there was a plan to continue that storyline. Obviously, things changed with Brock’s return,” Balor explained. “That was kind of that was the focus. As a performer, you have to understand that we’re all cogs in the wheel. There’s definitely a lot of mileage left in the Finn Balor-Demon-Roman Reigns storyline that needs to be addressed.”

Balor also spoke about his excitement about working under Triple H’s creative direction, explaining that he feels like the current regime will allow for a more collaborative effort.

“We obviously worked very closely together for a long time and both runs in NXT. For me, the most exciting thing is it feels more like a collaboration working with this new leadership. Certainly the availability to exchange ideas and compromise and come to an agreement on something or just get a face-to-face explanation of what the direction is. The way things were set up before there were many layers of management. Sometimes it was very hard to get a straight answer,” Balor pointed out, “or, at least, a straight answer in a short time, which is needed for live television. But I feel like now the channels of communication are a lot more direct for everyone.

“I feel like that has certainly helped people stress less about the direction and focus more on executing the ideas as opposed to the ping-pong back and forth that was between all the different layers of management and creative writers and writers and writers’ assistants and writers’ assistants’ assistants’ assistants’ before you got an answer. Triple H is very hands-on in that respect and very easily accessible,” he added. “He’s ringside before every show. Any queries that you have can be dealt with very quickly and ironed out pretty smoothly.”
