Report: Triple H Sees Finn Balor As A 'Reclamation Project'
Triple H remains a fan of Finn Balor
Nov 22, 2022
While he was often featured as a mid-carder on the main roster under the Vince McMahon regime, Finn Balor has received a renewed push since Triple H became Chief Content Officer in July, with Judgment Day being presented as one of the top factions on Monday Night Raw.
Balor has suffered losses on Raw, but he has also picked up wins in recent months against the likes of Edge, Dolph Ziggler, and Karl Anderson. He will be a featured performer at the upcoming Survivor Series pay-per-view when he goes one-on-one with AJ Styles.
Speaking with GiveMeSport, WrestleVotes revealed that Triple H very much sees Balor as a "reclamation project" due to their personal relationship.
"They've always, always really liked each other. Seeing what Finn has been over the last few years, Hunter sees almost like a reclamation project, but one that he can get behind because of their personal relationship. Hunter's first real big name was Fergal, so they've always had a relationship and worked well together. Hunter has always believed in him. When Finn got injured, after he won the title at SummerSlam 2016, he checked on him daily, like keeping the relationship tight, even though he left NXT," WrestleVotes said.
Triple H has been a fan of Balor throughout his WWE run and The Prince was a two-time NXT Champion under the old black-and-gold version of the brand.
