Fans have been disappointed for a while now about how Finn Balor is treated on RAW and while he may have a match at TLC this weekend, he's far from where he was when he won the Universal Championship. It's been particularly frustrating not seeing him use his Demon persona as it happened only twice in 2017 and once this year, a sign perhaps that Vince McMahon isn't a fan.
During a recent interview, Balor was asked about whether or not we'll see the Demon return and it seems as if he's really struggling with the concept after not taking on that persona for so long.
"I do it so infrequently now that I forget how I move as the Demon. I forget the subtle differences in the entrance and the mannerisms of how the Demon works. Now, when I go out there, I’m Finn Balor, but that’s just Fergal. It’s just me, the human. But when the Demon goes out there, I need to transform into a different person. That mindset, because I’m not tapping into it so often, that’s a huge challenge for me. I gotta figure out how to do that every time, again. I’m very comfortable being Finn, but when it comes to the Demon, I have to reeducate myself. That’s an added challenge because of how infrequent we are doing it."
It's a shame that we don't get to see the Demon and an even bigger shame that the one time he used it this year was against Baron Corbin at SummerSlam. What do you guys think? Sound off below.
