10 Wrestling Facts We Didn't Know Last Week (April 8)

10. Finn Balor Always Wanted To Get His Friends Hired

It's admirable that Finn Balor told Triple H he wanted to head to the NXT developmental system for a while before landing on the main WWE roster. Looking to bed into the company, the Irishman realised that whilst he had been a world-travelled star for years, many casual WWE fans may not know who he was.

In NXT, he has been a revelation. Recasting himself from 'Prince' Devitt to Finn Balor, the guy is the current reigning NXT Heavyweight Champion. As good as he is inside the ring, the man has also been working diligently behind the scenes to try and land his friends jobs.

Speaking with the Sam Roberts Wrestling Podcast, Balor said that one of his goals upon signing for WWE was to ensure that he put a good word in for his buddies. Men like AJ Styles, Doc Gallows, Karl Anderson and Shinsuke Nakamura are on that list, and all are currently a part of the WWE system. 

It seems Balor is a man of his word in that respect.
