However, before jumping onto Friday Night Smackdown, Balor pitched a rin on the NXT UK brand as he had some plans in his mind for the show. During an interview with BT Sport, Finn Balor revealed why he was willing to make a brief appearance on WWE NXT. He said,

“The surprise appearance at NXT UK about two years ago was something I was really excited about, and it wasn’t going to be a one-off, it was going to be more of a regular thing to work towards a match with WALTER. It got taken away from us by the pandemic. It’s still something I am still super invested in. Believe it or not, before I returned to SmackDown, I could feel the run in NXT kind of coming to an end and kinda exhausted all of the resources there. I actually pitched the idea of moving to NXT UK, and obviously, that might have been a bold move and maybe a bold pitch.”
