What is it like to spend nearly an hour inside the squared circle with dozens of other top WWE Superstars on a high-profile stage?
Finn Balor knows.
During a recent BT Sport interview, The Judgment Day member reflected on his memorable 58-minute showing in the 2018 Royal Rumble match before ultimately being eliminated by John Cena.
“I remember thinking I could go for a little longer,” Balor said. “It definitely felt like something was achieved that night. Some nights, you go out there and you just do your job, and it’s A,B,C, D, and then you’re down. With that, there was a lot of kind of working on the fly or just having to improvise a lot and really be in the moment and enjoy it. I really did, and I would love another shot at maybe cracking the one-hour mark in the Rumble."
Balor continued, “I was a little bit disappointed, actually, that I got 57 minutes, 58 seconds or something like that. I had no idea, but when I came back, someone told me and [said], ‘Oh, good job, you almost landed an hour.’ I was like, ‘Almost? It felt like a little bit longer than that.”
