2) He’s a very good friend of NXT head coach, Matt Bloom

Matt Bloom and Balor have been friends since their days wrestling in Japan

Matt Bloom (a.k.a. Albert) and Finn Balor go back, way back. They met at the New Japan dojo in 2006 where Bloom was wrestling as Giant Bernard. They hit it off immediately and their unlikely friendship has crossed over from New Japan all the way across the pacific to WWE.

When Matt Bloom resigned with WWE and eventually took over as NXT head coach, he immediately recommended that they sign Balor. Soon after that, Finn Balor signed with NXT.
