WWE Rumor Roundup: Reason behind Edge's absence, Big name done with the company, Details on more releases, Balor teases returning character (25th May 2021)

#2 Finn Balor to become the Demon again in WWE?

Former WWE Universal Champion Finn Balor recently spoke on the Out of Character podcast. The Prince talked about his Demon character that he used frequently during his first run in NXT as well on the main roster.

Ever since his return to the black and gold brand, Balor has stayed away from the iconic character and retained his Prince persona. The former Universal Champion stated that he isn't sure how well the Demon character was treated in WWE. He will have to wait 10 years to give a verdict on whether the gimmick was botched or not.

Finn Balor did give a glimmer of hope to fans of the character, saying that there is still potential for it to return soon.

"There’s still some life left in The Demon character, for sure. Right now, I’m very happy being The Prince. I feel like, as I said before, this is the most like my true self in my WWE tenure, so I’m very happy.”

#1 How Booker T rubbed some superstars the wrong way in WWE

WWE Hall of Famer Booker T is known for his great in-ring skills and his unabashed attitude. The legend revealed on his podcast Hall of Fame that his claims of being one of the top five wrestlers in WWE during his early days in the company did not sit well with many superstars including Stone Cold Steve Austin.

"Well, he (Regal) had an issue with me saying I'm one of the top five workers in the world," Booker T said. "Lot of guys, you know, Stone Cold Steve Austin, he brought that up. Lot of guys (got) rubbed the wrong way, I think, in the locker room.''

Booker T admitted that he was a brash young guy and even though he had won the tag team championships, he had still not won a world championship when he made this statement.
