I like the entrance and the paint job but they never did anything with it to make it matter. Like bring out a sadistic side of him. Like let Finn be a face but the demon is a heel. Good writers could make it work. Maybe that's why they didnt do it.

Finn Balor is a 5'5" skinny Johnny Paint Can. He's not believable as himself of as the Demon.

The Demon was phenomenal to a point. I just don't think Finn liked being type cast in it, primarily because it was less artistic than how he used the paint on the Indies. He had to have been making Jeff Hardy merch money while he was doing it, though. I'm sure it was difficult to book for WWE creatively since he never lost when he used it. Still, he rode the rocket to a World Title doing it, and now he's back on a much sh*ttier version of NXT.
He's not the demon and he's a super watered down version of the Real Rock'n Rolla. He's this thing that's not as cool as either of the things he's been before. He seems happy in a small pond, but I think it's really disappointing how it's gone for him. Plenty of time for more moments, but he has to have the most poorly timed injury in WWE history. I do think the Bray Wyatt feud hurt his career. At some point, you would think someone would stop and ask who has come out for the better after a Bray Wyatt feud. But I digress, I suppose.

Maybe. It would've been ideal against Kross though. I care more about the figures tbh... and they can still make demons - so hopefully we should still get the ones outstanding. Finn Balor is a 5'5" skinny Johnny Paint Can. He's not believable as himself of as the Demon. "Skinny" ... Lol.

It will probably return at some point. Just not in his current run.

It wasn't worth anything because he wrestled absolutely no differently as the Demon. He should have had an entirely different personality and moveset as The Demon, otherwise he's just painting himself.

I think the window of opportunity for the Demon is even less so now that The Fiend has been so ramped up. It's presented too similarly, so I can't see it being on screen for a long while now. I think it would have been fine and even would have blown up ten fold had he not had to drop the Universal Championship immediately after winning it as the Demon. By the time he came back, we'd already seen it, and it had already been rinsed quite a bit on NXT. It almost made 'normal' Finn Balor seem average.
