Summary

Finn Balor hinted that The Demon could be returning on Monday's WWE Raw as his WrestleMania 42 match against Dominik Mysterio gets closer.

A vignette featuring Balor aired during the show, with Balor saying he originally wanted to handle things with Mysterio the easy way. He then made it clear that he believes Dominik pushed him into bringing out a different side of himself.

The tease adds another layer to a feud that is already headed to WrestleMania 42, where Balor and Dominik Mysterio were officially set for a singles match.

Quote from Finn Balor

Balor warned Mysterio that he may be about to face a version of him WWE fans have not seen in quite some time:

"There is a side that I thought was gone forever. You've awoken it. It's back. At WrestleMania, it's coming for you."

What Finn Balor's Demon tease changes for WrestleMania 42

Finn Balor teasing The Demon immediately raises the stakes for his WrestleMania 42 match with Dominik Mysterio. If WWE follows through on the vignette, the match stops feeling like a standard grudge bout and starts looking like a showcase for one of Balor's most protected personas.

It also gives the program a clear emotional escalation. Balor framed Dominik as the person who pushed him to abandon the easier path and fight dirty, which makes the WrestleMania meeting feel more personal than a routine card announcement.

Balor's history with The Demon

WWE closed the vignette with flashes of The Demon, reinforcing that the tease was intentional rather than a throwaway line.

Fans have not seen Balor's Demon side since WrestleMania 39, when The Demon lost to Edge in their Hell in a Cell match. With Balor now set to face Dominik at WrestleMania 42, Raw positioned the character as a possible factor in one of his biggest matches in years.
