10 Wrestling Facts We Didn't Know Last Week (Dec 18)

9. Finn Balor Has Long Thought Aiden English Is Under-Rated

The goal of pretty much every wrestler working in NXT is to someday make it to the main WWE roster. After all, as good as the developmental brand is, it's still exactly that, a place for performers to hone their craft. One of the stand out performers is definitely Finn Balor. The Irishman is the current NXT Heavyweight Champion, but in his mind, he's not the only one worthy of attention. During an interview with Kerrang this week, Balor name-checked who he believes is the most under-rated man on the NXT scene. Working as part of The Vaudevillains with Simon Gotch, Aiden English has earned rave reviews for the unique nature of his gimmick. Fans have been wondering what might be next for both English and Gotch should they be called up to the main touring roster. For Balor, Aiden English is the one with the most potential to make it as a singles star. When he arrived in NXT, Finn Balor instantly made a habit of watching other matches. He liked what he witnessed when viewing The Vaudevillains, especially the in-ring work of English. At 28, the man still has years ahead of him in WWE.
