Finn Balor believes WWE muddied up an important aspect of his character when he signed with the company over a decade ago.
WWE RAW Superstar Finn Balor was a recent guest on What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes. During the episode, Balor expressed his frustrations with how “The Demon” character has been handled since joining the company in 2014.
“Once I came to WWE, it kind of got muddled up a little bit, and there had to be a reason for why The Demon appeared. It all had to be storyline-based and advertised,” Finn Balor said. “And in my mind, it was always just a cool entrance. It was something that changed me into like Braveheart puts on the battle paint and he goes to war. And that’s the way it was for me.
“But in WWE, it had to be, ‘Well, what made him turn into The Demon? He had to get beat up and beat down and pushed to the limit to then turn into this monster.’ So then it became the point where Finn wasn’t good enough. Only The Demon could win. So then Finn was lesser than The Demon, where they’re supposed to be the same.
“The other issue I had with it was it was always advertised, which I like it to be a surprise. Like, ‘Oh, sh*t, The Demon’s here.’ And it just comes out and kicks ass.” [H/T: WrestlingNews.co]
