The 2021 Royal Rumble winner Edge recently had an interview with Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated and spoke about several topics including about NXT Champion Finn Balor.
Edge had a huge praise for the Prince of NXT. He said that he’s great in-ring performer operating entirely different level right now. Here what Rated-R Superstar said about Finn Balor:
“You need to start with Finn Balor. He’s operating on an entirely different level in the ring right now than I’ve ever seen him perform. I love what he’s doing. With Finn, the story would be two guys who have wrestled all over the world, but never been in the same place at the same time. That’s very appealing to me.”
After winning the Royal Rumble match, Edge and Finn Balor met each other in NXT two weeks ago. Edge teased that he may choose Balor as his WrestleMania opponent.

Finn Balor showed a incredible performance at NXT TakeOver: Vengeance Day against Pete Dunne and successfully retained his title. But after the match, he was shockingly attacked by Adam Cole and made his intentions clear that he’s coming for Finn Balor’s NXT Title.
