10 Times The Undertaker secretly helped WWE Superstars

#5 Finn Balor

Finn Balor is one of the most talented Superstars in WWE today. Last year, he moved back to NXT where he turned heel and shocked the entire WWE Universe. In his time with the company, Balor has convinced everyone of his potential and is one of the most prominent names in the list of modern-day Superstars.

In an interview with Scott Fishman, Balor was asked if he would ever face The Undertaker. The Irish Superstar went on to say that facing The Undertaker would account for his dream match and recalled the time when he received bits of advice from The Deadman himself.

Balor said that when he first came to WWE, ‘Taker talked to him about maintaining characters and every other detail that he should pay attention to. He is the one who advised Balor on his entrance and also shared his wisdom about the different aspects of the business.

Balor confirmed that he still used The Undertaker’s advice and said:

“That would be a dream match for me to see Finn Bálor versus The Undertaker. It really doesn't need to be explained more than that. I've been very fortunate to talk to Undertaker when I first came in here. We talked about entrances. He gave me a lot of advice that helps me to this day. So I'm very grateful for that. Maybe I'd play a couple of mind games with the Deadman. It would be a little bit of fun."
