Finn Balor On Who He Is Most Looking Forward To Wrestle, Being Called The Future Face Of WWE

WWE.com has a new interview with Finn Balor, who discussed being drafted to RAW. Below are a couple of highlights:

Which WWE star he is most looking forward to wrestling:

"You know, you're gonna think I'm making this up. But for the longest time, there has been a kind of mutual respect/competitiveness between myself and Seth [Rollins], I think. We'd done a panel the morning of [NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn], and it was something we touched on that when I was in Japan and Seth was in the independents in the United States, we'd always hear each other mentioned in the same breath, and it was like, 'Who's better?' We'd never really had a chance to challenge each other one-on-one, but it was something that was always very much in the back of our minds.

"We both take a lot of pride in our work and are very competitive, and of course we both want to prove to each other that I'm better than him or he's better than me. But he's someone I've looked up to for a long time in WWE. He's definitely the number one person I'm looking forward to wrestling, and it just so happens to be at SummerSlam."

If there is extra pressure because of people calling him "the face of the future":

"You know, people are always going to label you as something. People can label me as the face of the future, but I've been doing this for 16 years. For me, this is nothing new. I'm very assured of my ability when I'm in the ring. Sure, I'm new to Raw and I'm new to WWE, but I'm not new to being in the ring. In the ring, I consider myself quite capable. I can handle myself. That's a very flattering moniker, to be called the face of the future, and hopefully I can live up to that. But for me, you know, it's my past, present and hopefully my future. Wrestling is my life. So for me, it's not just the future. It's literally everything I do."

Balor also discussed his goals in WWE, leaving NXT, the reaction from the crowd on RAW and more. You can read the full interview by clicking here.
