Finn Balor Takes Dig At CM Punk Ahead Of WWE Elimination Chamber
Finn Balor has started playing mind games with CM Punk ahead of their World Title match at Elimination Chamber.
Finn Balor was urged by his Judgement Day factionmate Liv Morgan to stop being lazy and go after one of WWE’s top prizes, the World Heavyweight Championship, in January.
After Balor challenged the Champion CM Punk, the title was put on the line in Balor’s home country of Ireland on an episode of Raw in Belfast.
Punk emerged victorious in the bout, and the two men had a moment of mutual respect after the match, shaking hands.
However, things changed a couple of weeks later when an irate Balor ambushed Punk towards the end of Raw. This attack came after Raw General Manager Adam Pearce wouldn’t allow Balor to enter the Royal Rumble match, saying he was too late.
The pair continued to feud on Raw until Pearce had enough and booked a title match between the two for Feb 28 at Elimination Chamber.

Meanwhile, WWE’s YouTube channel recently released a video in which WWE stars are seen talking about the iconic AJ Styles’ retirement at the Royal Rumble.
Finn Balor was among the wrestlers, and he spoke highly of Styles breaking character and even thanking The Phenomenal One after getting emotional.
For me, you are the benchmark for what it is to be a professional both inside and outside of the ring. I’m very grateful that I got the opportunity to share the last 10 years with you here in this company. I know we kind of dodged each other a lot on the indies. You were in TNA, I was in Japan. When you came to Japan, I went to NXT, so we missed each other for a long time. But I feel like getting to know you over the last 10 years on a personal level and in the ring, and just witnessing how great and phenomenal you really are, I wanna say thank you for being AJ Styles
