Balor might be relatively new to WWE, but his time wrestling across Japan, Great Britain, and the rest of Europe means he’s already well-acquainted with a huge portion of the roster.

His relationship with Becky Lynch is particularly well-documented. The Irish Lass Kicker got her start in the business through Balor’s NWA Ireland: the two have maintained a close friendship throughout their careers, with Lynch crediting Balor’s influence for much of her own success in the business.

Aside from his most famous student, Finn has been wrestling with Karl Anderson since first crossing paths with him on the UK indy scene in 2006. Both wrestlers moved to New Japan Pro Wrestling, and when Balor formed Bullet Club in 2013, Anderson was among his first recruits. Luke Gallows joined the group shortly afterwards, and the trio have remained friends ever since.

Then there are Kevin Owens, Neville, and Apollo Crews, whom Balor has already crossed paths with in NXT, and would instantly find common ground with should they meet on the main roster.

Finn Balor will be among friends on Raw or SmackDown. Wherever he lands, the Irishman has immediate chemistry with some of the company’s most prominent figures, which should help ease his transition to no end.
