Finn Balor sent shockwaves across the WWE Universe when he returned to NXT a few months back and announced that he 'is NXT' now, indicating that The Prince will become an NXT mainstay even though he was previously a main roster Superstar.
Wade Keller of PWTorch revealed why Balor turned heel on NXT instead of on the main roster:
Finn Balor, he is better on NXT. He is a smaller guy and if he was not a top priority for Vince McMahon when he lost to Bray, moving him to NXT and having him compete with wrestlers more his size makes him more palatable to be a heel. It's tougher to do on WWE's main roster - RAW or SmackDown - where the wrestlers are typically bigger than those on NXT.
He also stated that it would be hard for Balor to be a heel on the main roster and not get cheered or make the babyface look bad for being bigger than him as a babyface is supposed to be the underdog and smaller than the heel.
