David Finlay reflects on competing in AEW.
On the June 6, 2022 edition of AEW Dynamite, David Finlay made his debut for the company by competing against Adam Page in a singles contest. Finlay lost the belt to Page, who was coming off losing the AEW World Championship to CM Punk at Double Or Nothing.
While speaking to Fightful for a new interview, Finlay talked about the match and said that the partnership between NJPW and AEW is really good for wrestling as a whole.
"It's a cool opportunity. I've known Hangman since he came to New Japan. So it was kind of just like, ‘Oh, well, I guess we're doing it here now.’ Which we've been around long enough, the letters change but the people kind of stay the same. The connection or the relationship that New Japan and AEW have is really, really good for wrestling as a whole, I would say. Having other people show up in different places is always cool to me. At the end of the day, I'm a prize fighter. So if you're going to pay me to come wrestle, I'm going to come do it."
As of publish time, Finlay has yet to make his return to AEW.
