Finn Balor is one of WWE’s most popular stars. The former Universal Champion has already achieved big success and is now a proud member of Judgment Day on Monday Night RAW. At present, he also holds the World Tag Team Championship with JD McDonagh, proving he is still at the top of his game.
Outside the ring, Balor has been happily married to Mexican sports journalist Veronica Rodríguez since 2019. The couple often share glimpses of their life together on social media. But before tying the knot, Finn Balor was linked with a few well-known names from the wrestling world.
Here’s a look at three WWE women who were rumored to have been romantically connected with him before his marriage.
Bayley
Back in 2017, speculation grew about Finn Balor and Bayley’s personal lives after Balor posted a photo with her and his parents. He even captioned it “meet the parents,” which sparked strong dating rumors among fans.
The pair also teamed up in the Mixed Match Challenge, which added more fuel to the gossip. However, Bayley later clarified in a 2021 interview that they were never in a relationship. She admitted the rumors caused some problems in her past relationship but made it clear that she and Balor were only close friends who enjoyed working together.
Cathy Kelley
Cathy Kelley, currently a backstage interviewer on SmackDown, was also rumored to be in a relationship with Finn Balor. Reports suggested the two started dating around 2017 when Balor was with NXT.
Although neither of them made their relationship fully public, fans often noticed their chemistry off-camera. The reported romance ended in 2018, shortly before Balor went on to marry Veronica Rodríguez. In recent interviews, Cathy has confirmed that she is single, ending any ongoing speculation.
Becky Lynch
The most surprising name on the list is Becky Lynch. Before becoming WWE’s biggest female star, Becky shared a close connection with Balor. Both Irish wrestlers were rumored to have dated before they made it big in WWE.
In her book, Becky even spoke about the emotional aftermath of their breakup, describing Finn as her “first real love.” She admitted the split left her devastated at the time, though they managed to stay friends. Their shared history shows how deeply their bond once ran, even if the relationship didn’t last.
