Many fans were hoping he&#8217;d appear before WrestleMania so he could have a match on the show. Apparently it could have happened, but management simply couldn&#8217;t find a place for him on the card. That&#8217;s what Balor revealed in an interview with news.com.au&#8230;<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;It was quite an interesting scenario,&#8221; Balor said. &#8220;Because the reality was I actually was fit and I was ready and I was back wrestling, there was just no space on the card at WrestleMania. Obviously, I had done my part in the rehabilitation, but it was kind of too late situating anything to do with the card. There was literally no space left, no opponents left, that was the reality of it.\u201d Balor also talked about his Demon character and the possibility of The Club reforming in WWE.\u00a0Read the full story here:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.pwpodcasts.com\/2017\/06\/14\/quick-quotes-finn-balor-talks-demon-character-missed-wrestlemania-possibly-reforming-club\/\">MORE:\u00a0Finn Balor talks The Demon Character, why he missed WrestleMania, possibly reforming The Club<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u2022Sasha Banks made history at Hell in a Cell when she took part in the first women&#8217;s match to main event a pay-per-view in WWE.

You kind of felt that he\u2019s a lifer, he\u2019s our guy and no matter what, good times and bad, he\u2019s going to be there. It was shock. It was pure shock, not believing that this was really happening. And then the shock went to anger. \u2018How can he do that?\u2019 It was a whole range of emotions. Steve wasn\u2019t taking anybody\u2019s calls. I reached out to him, he didn\u2019t take my call. He didn\u2019t want to talk to anybody and I think there was a point that was the last straw with Vince in his mind at that time, that if he\u2019s going to walk out \u2018I won\u2019t tolerate that.\u2019\u201d Prichard also talked about the notorious episode of Confidential that followed the walkout, which featured McMahon and Jim Ross expressing their frustration with Austin.\u00a0Get the full details:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.pwpodcasts.com\/2017\/06\/10\/quick-quotes-feeling-backstage-following-steve-austins-walkout\/\">MORE:\u00a0What was the feeling backstage following Steve Austin\u2019s walkout?<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>There is much more available at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pwpodcasts.com\/\">www.PWPodcasts.com<\/a>, which just might be <strong>YOUR NEXT NEW FAVORITE WEBSITE <\/strong>to visit every day.
