The Judgment Day's Finn Balor believes he is starting a new chapter at WWE SummerSlam
Finn Balor defeated Seth Rollins and became the inaugural Universal Champion in 2016 but was forced to relinquish the title shortly after the match due to an injury.
Speaking to Sports Illustrated, Balor noted that his injury seven years ago is a microcosm of his WWE career because he is always overcoming obstacles.
"I think that SummerSlam in 2016 is a microcosm of my whole career. I was a kid from a country that had no pro wrestling at all. My whole life I was told, over and over, that I couldn't even be in the business. Then when I broke in, I was told every reason as to why I couldn't be successful. Everyone was always putting obstacles in my way," said Balor.
The 42-year-old WWE Superstar added that overcoming his injury after winning the Universal Championship was another obstacle he had to overcome and that he is ready to begin a new chapter tomorrow night.
"I feel the injury at SummerSlam, which occurred moments into the [19-minute] match, was just another obstacle I needed to overcome. And that's how I approached it. Adapt, overcome, and move forward. Seven years later, SummerSlam 2023 is not the end of the story. It's the beginning of a new chapter," Balor added. [H/T Sports Illustrated]
