Finn Balor talks his LGBTQ message and entrance at WrestleMania 34

Finn Balor’s entrance at WrestleMania 34 might not have been the return of the Demon that many people had hoped for. However, his entrance caught the attention of the WWE Universe in a completely different way.

On April 8, the Intercontinental Championship Match opened WrestleMania, with Finn Balor surrounded by dozens of Balor Club members, wearing shirts with rainbow-striped BC logos, which Balor had promoted the week before. Balor’s “all-inclusive” message reached throughout the WWE Universe.

In an interview with Sports Illustrated, Balor talked about that night and how long he fought to make that entrance a reality.

I feel like, not that they were excluded, but sometimes they felt like they weren’t included. That’s something I felt a responsibility for, to use the platform that I have for good and to help maybe a small amount of people for the right reasons.

Balor went on to say that he had been working on the idea for a few months before Stephanie McMahon caught wind of his plan, backing it immediately.
