• We Might Never See Finn Balor’s Demon King Gimmick Ever Again

Current NXT wrestler Finn Balor had some of his biggest moments in WWE under his “Demon King” persona.

However, we might never see it again in the WWE.

According to Tom Colohue, Balor isn’t interested in using the Demon King gimmick again:

“There are no plans to ever see the Demon King again in the WWE. No plans at all to have it in NXT. Finn Balor doesn’t want the Demon King. He felt it was a bad thing to have on the main roster when he got there.

So he is rebuilding himself a little bit. There maybe times when he may choose to go back to the Demon King but that’s being left up to him. But at the moment, no plans for Demon King.”

Balor last used his Demon King gimmick at WWE Super ShowDown 2019 in Saudi Arabia, where he defeated Andrade to retain the Intercontinental Championship.
