Finn Balor Brings Back ‘The Demon’ Persona, Will Challenge Roman Reigns At WWE Extreme Rules

September 10, 2021

Finn Balor is back as The Demon. All sights on the 9/10 WWE SmackDown may have been on Brock Lesnar wanting a shot at Roman Reigns’ Universal Championship, but it was Balor who ended the show in the spotlight.

After Reigns helped The Usos retain their SmackDown Tag Titles against The Street Profits, Madison Squared Garden was bathed in deep red lighting as Balor re-introduced his “Demon” persona to make it known that his alter ego will be facing “The Tribal Chief” at WWE Extreme Rules. Throughout the episode, fans were eagerly waiting to see whether Reigns would accept Lesnar’s challenge, but it was Balor who ended everything on a high note. With the return of “The Demon”, Balor could be considered a true threat to Reigns’ throne.
