Don't Expect To See Finn Balor In His "Demon" Guise When He Faces Bray Wyatt At WWE SUMMERSLAM
In news that's sure to disappoint Finn Balor fans, the Irish Superstar has seemingly debunked the rumor that he'd be turning up to face Bray Wyatt in his "Demon" guise at WWE SummerSlam on August 20th...
Since Finn Balor debuted on the main roster, we've only seen him wrestle as "The Demon" once when he faced-off against Seth Rollins for the Universal Championship last year at SummerSlam. Fans were hoping to see Finn don the makeup again when he takes on Bray Wyatt (what better opponent, after all?) at this year's event, but it doesn't sound like it's going to happen.
Here's what Balor said when asked about The Demon during an interview with IGN:
"You know the Demon only comes out in certain special situations, and I don't think my match at SummerSlam against Bray Wyatt calls for it necessarily. I think I'm perfectly capable of handling that on on my own, as Finn Balor. The Demon is something I have to personally tap into and believe in and draw from and the opportunity hasn't arose and the situation hasn't presented itself yet. The story hasn't required it."
Well, the story didn't require it last year, either, to be fair! Is it possible Finn is just downplaying the possibility so it'll be more of a surprise when The Demon arises from the mist on August 20th? Perhaps - but I wouldn't get my hopes up.
What do you guys think of Balor's comments? Disappointed? Sound off below.
