WWE Star Says He'd "Really Love" To Turn Heel
This former World Champion wants WWE to try him out as a "real" heel on Raw.
Finn Bálor really wants to turn heel on Raw or SmackDown.
The WWE star told Mark Andrews on the NXT UK man's 'Love Letter To Wrestling' podcast that he doesn't care which major brand it happens on - Finn would just "really love" to have a "real" run as a villain on one of the top shows.
Bálor had a successful, critically-acclaimed heel stint on NXT a few years ago, but WWE has never expressed much interest in using him that way on Raw or SmackDown. If anything, the company has stuck to its guns with Finn on the main roster.
He returned to playing the underdog babyface for a feud opposite Roman Reigns last August-September.
This is clearly a source of frustration for Finn. He admitted on the pod that he was "just worn out of dealing with the politics in the office and the writers and everything that goes with it" before that aforementioned NXT push rejuvenated his career.
Now, Bálor wants to experience something similar on USA Network or FOX. Here's hoping WWE listen, because that villainous streak on NXT was rather special.
