#1. Hope isn't true: Finn Balor never bringing back The Demon King to WWE?

With Finn Balor in WWE, the question has always been as to what could have been for him. He was the most highly-anticipated NXT call-up in the last decade and one can't help but feel that WWE squandered the opportunity to push a potentially larger-than-life character.

Finn Balor has everything it takes to make it big in WWE, but his untimely injury in 2016 saw him lose his push long-term and by 2019, he moved back to NXT where he's been since. The last time we saw The Demon King was at Super ShowDown in 2019 when he defeated Andrade for the United States title.

On the RAW Preview on Sportskeeda's Facebook page, Tom Colohue revealed that there are no plans for The Demon King to ever return to WWE:

"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."

While we wouldn't blame Finn Balor by any means, we hope this isn't true, simply because The Demon King had the potential to be the most iconic character in modern-day WWE.
