Finn Bálor Explains What’s Killing Him On The Inside, Says He Is Done Smiling

Finn Balor is not happy.

After returning to SmackDown in mid-July, Finn Balor seemed poised for a SummerSlam showdown with Roman Reigns after The Head of the Table accepted his Universal Championship challenge over that of John Cena. Things went awry at the contract signing, however, as Baron Corbin attacked Balor as he was about to put pen to paper. Cena would then come out and take the contract from Corbin, signing it himself before handing it to Adam Pearce and Sonya Deville.

Despite Paul Heyman’s assertion that the contract should be invalid, it was ratified nonetheless.

Appearing on the latest episode of Talking Smack, Balor explained why he isn’t excited for SummerSlam and what has been killing him on the inside. He said the following:

“Kayla, I used to smile all the time because it was easier to smile than try to explain to people what’s killing me on the inside. Well, I’m done smiling. I’ll tell you what’s killing me. The fact that John Cena stepped over my body and signed my contract, that’s killing me. The fact that Roman Reigns and The Usos jumped me from behind two weeks ago, and tried to smash me, that’s killing me. The fact that I’m on the outside in the main event of SummerSlam. That is killing me. I hope John Cena and Roman Reigns tear each other apart because I’ll be waiting like a vulture, ready to devour what’s left. Then they’re gonna wish that I was still smiling because I’ll be killing them.”

Not only is he out of the main event of SummerSlam, but since the match between Cena and Reigns was made official, Balor isn’t on the card at all.
