Every Version Of WWE's Demon Finn Bálor: Ranked From Worst To Best

Before Finn Bálor even officially debuted inside a WWE ring, much focus was centered on if he would continue to cover himself in elaborate body paint for big matches. While fans clamored for him to continue his artistic expressions that became famous during his time in New Japan Pro Wrestling, none could foresee his Demon alter ego. His comic book character inspired paint schemes were astonishing in his days prior to WWE, but his Demon warpaint now represents not only an incredible image but a true possession of his soul.

Since joining NXT in 2014, Bálor has channelled his Demon over a dozen times -- both in the developmental brand and more sparingly as a member of Monday Night RAW's roster. While certain characteristics of the Demon warpaint and now-iconic entrance have remained constant, there have been flourishes unique to each incarnation of Finn's alternate characterization.

From a chainsaw-wielding madman to a Japanese oni-inspired look and his most recent demonic appearance at last week's SummerSlam, Finn Bálor's Demon King has left a lasting impression on the wrestling world. Join us as we categorize and count down every version of the Demon from its puzzling worst to its awe-inspiring best.

Bray Wyatt was originally witness to the Demon at SummerSlam 2017 almost two months prior. On the 16 October edition of RAW, Finn again threatened the Eater of Worlds with the coming of the Demon. Bálor stood in the ring clad in an all-black suit as he warned his opponent. Meanwhile, eerie flashes of his alter ego appeared on viewers’ television screens.

However, what fans saw was an unfamiliar incarnation, different than any version of the Demon both past and future. Unfortunately, it wasn't different in a positive nature as his warpaint looked less menacing than ever before. In an obvious homage to the upcoming Halloween holiday, the Demon King eschewed its traditional black and red stylings for an orange, black, and yellow scheme reminiscent of a jack-o-lantern.

The carved pumpkin look was surely unique, but it was undoubtedly more comical than any of Finn’s past embodiments of the Demon. Luckily, the vibrant squash makeup was quickly axed and made no such appearance at the upcoming TLC pay-per-view. For that matter, neither did Bray Wyatt as he was put on the sidelines due to injury.
