Finn Balor is one of the biggest names in WWE right now. The two-time NXT Champion has also held the WWE Universal and Intercontinental Championship.

Balor got his break training in the United Kingdom as a teenager and quickly embarked on tours of the UK, the United States, and his native country, Ireland. In fact, Balor set up his own wrestling school in his hometown of Bray. One of the first people to join the school was the future WrestleMania headliner, Becky Lynch, who enrolled with her older brother.

WWE explored the history between Lynch and Balor in an episode of WWE 24, Becky Lynch: The Man. During the documentary, Lynch revealed that she even lied about her age to join as she was under sixteen at the time.

As well as the former RAW Women's Champion, Balor also trained fellow Irish WWE Superstar, Jordan Devlin, who like Balor, also wrestled in Japan before he joined the company. One-half of the former WWE Women's Tag Team Champions, Nikki Cross, also briefly trained under Balor early in her career.
