Ethan Page Calls Out Finn Balor: “Too Locked In”

During a recent episode of Celtic Warrior Workouts with Sheamus, Ethan Page openly criticized Finn Balor, revealing his dislike for the WWE star. The discussion took place on January 27 and offered a glimpse into the tension between the two wrestlers. Page characterized Balor as someone who is overly intense and “too locked in,” suggesting their personalities clash in behind-the-scenes interactions.

Details of the Exchange Between Page and Balor

Page explained that his issue with Balor began before a match when Balor questioned his habit of eating candy to gain energy. Page said Balor asked, “Jellies before your match?” showing unfamiliarity with the term, which annoyed Page. He described himself as someone who enjoys gummy bears before matches for a sugar boost and admitted to liking candy humorously, calling himself a “fatass.” The wrestler remarked,

“I don’t like Finn Balor. I don’t like him. He’s too like, locked in. Does anyone ever make you feel uncomfortable because — Dude, I like to have to some gummy bears before my matches because you get a little sugar rush. You get a pump. Plus, it gives me the chance to eat candy and I like it because I’m a fatass. This man said to me right before I went in, he goes, ‘Jellies before your match?’ Which, I didn’t even know what jellies means. I looked at him like, ‘Yeah, of course, you never eaten one in your entire life.’ Anyway, we don’t talk about him anymore. I thought he was nice until I spoke to him.”

This comment was likely delivered in character, but it clearly conveyed Page’s frustration, highlighting how the two wrestlers’ attitudes differ significantly.
