Similar to his entrance at Takeover: Dallas in 2016, Finn Balor's earlier main event introduction at Takeover: London in December 2015 borrowed from the cinematic history of the city in which the event took place.

Personifying his alter ego The Demon, Balor took his ring entrance a step further by donning the attire of Jack The Ripper, a real-life late 19th century English serial killer who became immortalized when fused into fictional works of film and literature in successive years, as in the 1959 film Jack The Ripper.

With a top hat and cape added to The Demon's routine body paint and dread locks, Balor emerged from a blood red cloud of fog and eerily crawled to the ring like a shadowy figure determined to inflict harm (most likely on his NXT title match opponent Samoa Joe).

This was more than just a simple stage entrance. This was practically a concept, a work of art.
