Finn Balor has been asked when or if The Demon will return to WWE.
The alter ego of the former Tag Team Champion has not been seen since WrestleMania 39 when Balor lost to Edge inside Hell in a Cell. The darker and more vicious side of Balor has become a favourite among fans and one that they hope to see soon. Additionally, it could be argued that The Demon’s look would be a perfect fit in The Judgment Day.
Speaking with WrestleZone ahead of WrestleMania 40, Balor was asked about The Demon and if he still gets as many requests to wrestle as the alter ego:
“Yeah I still get some requests, but there is a time and a place for The Demon and right now is certainly not the time. I am very invested in what I am doing now as Finn with Damian. We’re doing something completely new with The Judgment Day, something that has been working really well the past 2 years. I’m sure in the future there will be a time and a place but right now, I am very comfortable and focused with what I am doing with The Judgment Day.”
Booked very strong as The Demon, some of Balor’s notable victories as the more vicious entity included his Universal Championship triumph over Seth Rollins in 2016 and a match against AJ Styles at TLC 2017 that was put together at the last minute as Bray Wyatt was not cleared to compete.
Along with the defeat to Edge, the other notable loss came to Roman Reigns at Extreme Rules 2021, which saw Balor fall from the top rope after the top turnbuckle mysteriously fell off the ring post.
Finn Balor Had Hesitations About Joining Judgment Day
Although Balor has found success by being a part of The Judgment Day with multiple reigns as Tag Team Champion, there was a point where the Grand Slam champion had reservations about joining the faction. Speaking with Inside The Ropes prior to SummerSlam 2023, Finn Balor explained why he was reluctant to be a part of The Judgment Day.
