Finn Bálor recently admitted that he'd love an NXT return before hanging up his boots. Now, the WWE man has revealed exactly who he wants to wrestle on SmackDown before potentially launching a third stint on the third brand.

First and foremost, Finn craves a match with Edge.

Bálor believes that working with the 'Rated-R Superstar' "could really push [him] to the next level" - the Irishman has admired Edge's recent matches with Roman Reigns, and wants to test himself against some of the biggest names from wrestling's past who are still killing it in the present.

Edge isn't the only one; Finn wants Rey Mysterio too.

Now there's a match that WWE must book. As Prince Devitt over in Japan, Bálor mimicked many of Rey's WCW classics against Dean Malenko and Eddie Guerrero with his silky-smooth ring style before reaching WWE. He described both bouts as something that'd be "really special" for him.

They'd be really special to the fans as well.

Would you like to see Finn Bálor work Edge or Rey Mysterio? Or, is there somebody else you want to see him wrestle first on Friday nights?
