Finn Balor Teases Match With John Cena at Wrestlemania

In an interview with The Mirror, Finn Balor teased a possible match with John Cena at Wrestlemania. Cena “stole” Balor’s title shot from him at Summerslam earlier this year, as during an episode of Smackdown, he signed the contract meant for Balor. Here are highlights:

On getting even with John Cena: “I can’t think of a better place to face John Cena than at WrestleMania. I’ve got a bone to pick with John, the SummerSlam main event was mine, my name was printed on the contract, however, John signed it. There’s certainly an issue that needs to be settled between me and John and if we can do that at WrestleMania all the better.”

On how his mindset has changed: “The thing I have learnt the most is five years ago I needed WWE and I needed to be champion, I needed to win. Now I don’t need WWE, I don’t need to be champion, I don’t need to win but I want to fight and I want to fight for not only the people who believed in me along the way, but for all the people who didn’t believe in me along the way.”

On returning to the UK: “I’m excited to be returning to the UK very soon, a place where I started my wrestling career, I have many many great memories. I’m very glad the pandemic is behind us; we’re opening the doors and we’re getting back out on the road and performing in front of the fans. I think the UK crowd brings a very distinct energy to the building, I think it might be to do with the huge football culture of singing songs and chanting in the crowds that really translates into the wrestling arenas. They bring that energy, the same energy that they bring to the football games into the WWE live events and that energy is something that is very unique to the UK.”
