Big E says “we were all robbed” of a Finn Balor babyface turn at WWE RAW
As seen during the January 26th 2026 edition of WWE RAW, Finn Balor teased a babyface turn but then attacked CM Punk at the end of the show. While speaking on the RAW Recap show, Big E gave his thoughts on the storyline…
“He got me. I was so excited for this new turn, a new Finn Balor getting to be. And I think of him as a peer of a CM Punk, of an AJ Styles—those guys, they really changed the game. What they did on the indies really helped shape what wrestling looked like in WWE for years to come.
And the thought of Finn breaking from The Judgment Day, carving out his own path, making a world title run as a beloved—you know—even just getting to see glimpses of his old entrance the week prior, and seeing the way the fans in Ireland took to him—like, that was such a beautiful moment.
And I thought for a split second we were gonna get that Finn Balor again.
And we were robbed. We were all robbed.”
