Finn Balor knows how to switch it up.
Finn Balor is one of the few WWE Superstars who has been on all three brands and through his five years on the main roster, he has consistently found small ways to change up his style when it is needed. That is calculated on his part.
Finn Balor, during a recent appearance on WWE After The Bell, spoke openly about compromising and changing up his style depending on what his character needs at the time. Whether it's Monday Night Raw or WWE NXT, The Prince, or The Demon, Finn Balor knows how to switch it up when necessary.
"I feel I've made huge compromises," he said. "The compromise in my style, or the change in my style, I feel is so drastically different that it's almost unrecognizable for me to watch it. The same way where Finn and the Demon are separate, I feel Finn in NXT vs. Finn on Raw is completely different. It's the same image, same gear maybe some days, but it's a completely different style. The one thing that is so underestimated, and I took as a compliment when I came to NXT the first time and I realized wasn't really a compliment, was that I was told I was too smooth. 'That sounds like a compliment. That sounds good.' I don't think it's a compliment. Everything should be difficult. It shouldn't be easy to do anything in a fight. A fight is not easy. You need to struggle before you succeed before people really appreciate it. You need to go through the struggles. In life, you need to struggle for years through high school, college, apprenticeships, to finally get there and then you appreciate it. I feel it's the same with someone doing a backflip, you don't really struggle to do it, it's just a backflip. If I'm thinking about how I apply myself, if I go out there and do the foot stomp first, people are going to go 'ehh.'"
Currently, Finn Balor is the WWE United States Champion on Monday Night Raw. Most recently he was laid out by Damian Priest.
