Why NXT Champion Finn Bálor Fell in Love With Seinfeld During the Pandemic

Finn Bálor is the reigning NXT champion and one of wrestling’s most elite performers. He is master of his domain, so to speak.

Bálor, who is 39-year-old Fergal Devitt, has spent the bulk of the past two decades chasing his wrestling dreams. A journey that began in Ireland has taken him around the world—seemingly from Milan to Minsk—and included stops in England, Japan and now the United States. But he has spent the past few years better connecting with the world around him, and a priority has been finding time to relax with his wife.

With the world still battling COVID-19 and WWE unable to tour, Bálor has spent more time at home than he has in his professional career.
