WWE Superstar Finn Balor launched a vicious attack on Seth Rollins, and fans are convinced that he is prepared to bring back The Prince.
Balor and Rollins have been in an intense feud since The Judgment Day member challenged the latter for a title match at Money in the Bank 2023. Last week on RAW, Balor tried to cut a passionate promo but was drowned out by the crowd continuously singing Rollins' theme music.
The WWE Universe felt Balor was unfairly denied a chance to cut the most crucial promo of his career. However, he made up for the same by attacking Seth Rollins on RAW and NXT Gold Rush.
Rollins put his World Heavyweight Championship on the line against Bron Breakker on NXT this week. The Architect successfully defended his gold but was soon subjected to a brutal assault by Finn Balor, as the latter used a disguise to stun the champion.
Balor attacked Rollins on the ramp and mercilessly kicked him before driving him into the ring apron. He then took the champion inside the squared circle and assaulted him with a steel chair. The Judgment Day member dragged Rollins to the corner, setting him up for a Coup de Grace. However, NXT Champion Carmelo Hayes and Trick Williams arrived just in time to save The Visionary.
Fans loved Finn Balor's attacks and praised him for showing glimpses of his iconic Prince Devitt gimmick. Many joked about him traveling to NXT to attack Rollins, cementing himself as a 'true hater.'
Here are some of the best reactions to Finn Balor destroying Seth Rollins on NXT Gold Rush:
After the show went off the air, Rollins addressed the NXT fans. A backstage video showed a wholesome moment involving the champion. Rollins stopped his emotional speech to acknowledge a LA Knight moment, much to the WWE Universe's appreciation.
