Major WWE Character Returns After 3 Years At WrestleMania 42
This WWE character returned this year at WrestleMania to the delight of many fans.
Dominik Mysterio lost his Intercontinental Championship to Penta after Finn Balor refused to help him illegally during a title match.
Mysterio later blamed Balor for costing him the title, and a skirmish between the two eventually led to The Judgement Day turning on Balor and ousting him from the faction.
Balor and Mysterio were ready to go at it to settle personal scores at WrestleMania 42, but in the lead-up to the match, two major twists were revealed. The match was turned into a street fight by Raw General Manager Adam Pearce at the last minute, and Finn Balor returned with his Demon Persona.
Finn Balor Brings Back Demon Persona For WWE WrestleMania 42
Balor had retired the Demon Character after his final appearance under that persona at WrestleMania 39 on April 2, 2023, in a Hell in a Cell match.
The Demon character is Balor’s alter ego, a darker version of himself. According to Balor, when the warpaint goes on, his personality changes.
Notably, Balor also won his first Universal Title in 2016 with this persona.
