Finn Balor: I Feel More Prepared To Be World Champion Than I Was In 2016
Finn Balor feels more prepared.
Since relinquishing the Universal Championship in 2016, Finn Balor has failed to capture another world title. At this year’s SummerSlam event, Balor will face Sami Zayn, with the winner becoming the number one contender to the Undisputed WWE Championship.
Speaking with Marco Ercole for a new interview, Balor said that he feels more prepared to be a world champion at this stage of his career.
“I think in 2016, I was very wide eyed and bushy tailed. Excited about the future, but very inexperienced and perhaps not as confident as I am today. I feel like over the last ten years, I’ve gotten to grow — not only as a performer in the ring but outside the ring. I feel like I have more self belief in myself, I have more discipline. I have 10 years of experience of ups and downs and having to learn many different lessons from facing top performers from all over the world. If anything, I feel better physically, I feel better mentally, I feel more focused and I feel more prepared to be world champion.”
The bout between Sami Zayn and Finn Balor will take place on the second night of SummerSlam. Check out the current lineup for the show by clicking here.
