WWE WWE star and Judgment Day member Finn Balor has recalled pitching an entrance to both Triple H and Stephanie McMahon.
At WWE WrestleMania 34, Finn Balor had a special entrance where he came out with new gear and a new shirt, along with a group that helped him promote LGBTQ+ inclusion. To this day, the entrance is fondly remembered as an example for WWE stars using their platform to advocate for different causes.
Speaking with TNT Sports, Finn Balor reflected on this WrestleMania 34 entrance. He said:
“I remember in the build-up to ‘Mania, I’d been asked it a lot. ‘Are you gonna do ‘The Demon’? Are we gonna do ‘The Demon’? How are we gonna do this?’”
“I remember having this idea to do this, and a lot of people were kind of, ‘Oh, you gotta definitely do The Demon, it’s WrestleMania. It’s your first WrestleMania. You gotta do that entrance.’”
“I remember thinking, ‘I think I got something that’s cooler, that’s more important, to use the platform as a voice for change.’”
“It was about three weeks before ‘Mania, and I brought it to Hunter [Triple H] and Stephanie [McMahon], and they jumped on it straight away and said, ‘100%, you can do that.’”
“They helped me get in touch with the LGBT+ community in New Orleans, and they were actually members of the community from there. They weren’t extras or anything like that.”
“It was legit having them up on stage. For me, that was a more important moment than any Demon entrance could have ever been,”
