#5 Return of The Demon King

Will The Prince allow The Demon King to Takeover?
Will The Prince allow The Demon King to Takeover?

Finn Balor's career has seen a resurgence ever since he made his return to NXT under The Prince moniker. I too agree with the fact that Balor doesn't need the Demon persona anymore, but we need to look at the corporate side of things, to understand why the Demon King's arrival is Best for Business.

Before WWE moved into the Performance Center due to the global pandemic, Finn Balor was on the verge of feuding with the NXT UK Champion Walter. Now, with Imperium holding the NXT Tag Team Championships, and the rumors that WWE was planning an invasion angle before the pandemic shook the world, one can speculate that Imperium was supposed to invade NXT. Balor as NXT UK Champion would have not only filled this void but would have also given the UK brand a popular name as their champion. Given how the UK brand has suffered due to not being able to tape their shows, Balor's insanely popular Demon King gimmick may be the perfect start to get the brand back on track.

Also, given how successful Balor has been as the Prince, the use of the Demon King can be minimized, building on the unpredictability factor. While Finn doesn't need the Demon King anymore, NXT UK needs Demon King the most. Don't be surprised if The Demon King graces our TV sets soon.
