Finn Bálor Suggests Idea Of NXT Japan With He & Shinsuke Nakamura Leading It
The idea of NXT Japan was suggested by Finn Bálor.
The latest episode of Stephanie McMahon’s ‘What’s Your Story?’ podcast featured a sit-down chat with Finn Bálor.
During the conversation, Bálor talked about how he always imagined ending his wrestling career in Japan, but he does not want to go back there to wrestle. He then suggested the idea of NXT Japan with himself and Shinsuke Nakamura being Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque’s right-hand men on the job.
“I always kind of imagined myself going back to Japan to finish my career in Japan. I didn’t wanna leave Japan, but I kind of wanted to roll the dice with WWE, and give it a try, and if I had a year at NXT and then it didn’t work out, I would have happily went back to Japan… I fell in love with Japan. But, I don’t wanna go back to wrestling in Japan, I don’t think. I’d love to go back to Japan, and spend time there… When we go back with WWE, it’s absolutely incredible. To perform for WWE in Japan, that’s the dream. Maybe we can set up an NXT Japan. Paul (Levesque) might need a right-hand man to run it… Me and Shinsuke (Nakamura) I think would do a good job over there, right? God, that would be incredible. Go back to my dojo training days.”
Bálor is featured on the Monday Night Raw brand and is currently engaged in a feud with his former stablemates in The Judgment Day. Nakamura is on the SmackDown brand.
