On Stone Cold Steve Austin’s entrance

Balor said that Stone Cold Steve Austin is the one whose entrance gave him goosebumps. He said that when you hear the glass breaking sound, that is what you gets you every time. He added that be it a house show or a big event, everyone is excited to hear that sound and watch Stone Cold walk down the ramp.

“Stone Cold Steve Austin, when the glass breaks. It just gets you every time, doesn’t matter if it’s a small house show or a big-bang show, just once the glass breaks it gets everyone riled up, so that’s easy!”

On NXT talents

Balor was asked who he thinks from the vast pool of NXT Talents would make it big time and be a massive superstar. Balor said that he finds it obvious that Apollo Crews will make it big. He also added that recently Chad Gable and Jason Jordan have upped their game to be the best tag team in the division.

He said that Aiden English is extremely under-rated and would make it big.

“I think there’s some very obvious ones, like Apollo Crews, but two for me that have really started to stand out in recent times are Jason Jordan and Chad Gable, as a tag team. I think someone who I don’t think gets enough credit is Aiden English."

On expectation from NXT

Balor was asked what would a person who is going to an NXT Show expect. Balor said that NXT has a Rock ‘n’ Roll feel to it. He added that NXT feels very much like an indie promotion which he is accustomed to and loves. He said that NXT has a raw organic wrestling feel to it. He said that NXT has a hybrid style to it.

"It’s been a beautiful coming together of working with the WWE but also still having that raw organic feel of being an independent, so that’s the one thing that makes NXT so different than anywhere else. It’s kinda having the hybrid of both very different styles.”
