Finn Bálor would love a third run on NXT.

The 'Prince', who recently traded Tuesday nights for Fridays on Smackdown, told WWE Deutschland that he hopes to launch an NXT return at some point in the future - ideally, Bálor wants to do so as an active, full-time wrestler.

On that, Finn estimated that he has approx five years of full-time work left in him (around 10 overall if he's "economical with [his] movements"). Before hanging up the boots, Bálor dreams of working in WWE's third brand yet again.

Finn was gushing with his praise for NXT. He put over the entire roster, then applauded the "bond" NXT's producers and general staff have created backstage. Summing it up, Bálor called NXT the "most beautiful periods of [his] career".

Wow.

It's amazing that Finn has only just landed on the "main roster" again but is already dreaming of a return to the Capitol Wrestling Center. Both of his NXT runs mean the world to him, and Bálor can't fathom the prospect of calling it a career without sampling the place again.

Would you like to see Bálor back on NXT ASAP? Or, do you prefer him on SmackDown for now?
