Mirror Sport's WWE column is back and if this year has taught us anything, it’s that there is never a dull moment within the world’s most famous wrestling promotion. Following the success of WWE’s UK stadium show in 30 years, Clash at the Castle, earlier this month, the company are pulling out all the stops for Extreme Rules.
Finn Balor, a member of the villainous faction The Judgement Day, previously spoke of his desire to compete against WWE Hall of Famer Edge in a singles match. “Oh, I hope so, yeah I hope so [If we’re heading into Balor vs. Edge. So, like, from a personal standpoint, when Edge retired, I was, you know, disappointed at the fact that you know, that match will never happen,” he told Inside the Ropes earlier this month.
“When he returned, you know, Royal Rumble a couple years ago, kind of like that spark was kind of reignited.” Balor competed against Edge in a tag-team match at Clash at the Castle, which involved Rey Mysterio and Damian Priest, but he’s never faced the Rated R Superstar one on one. Balor concluded by remaining optimistic about having a singles showdown with the multi-time world champion.
