Finn Balor Teased As The Next Paul Heyman Guy In WWE Poster?

WWE SummerSlam poster claims "The Demon Rises".

Finn Balor, the current WWE NXT Champion, wants to stay where he is in NXT and doesn't seem to want to move up to the main roster right now. During an interview with the PodNasty Wrestling Podcast, Balor explained why he felt that way;
"What we're doing at NXT right now is groundbreaking. It's revolutionary. For me, it's like a renaissance period in wrestling, and I want to be involved in NXT, I don't want to go to the quote-unquote main roster, I don't want to get called up, so to speak, because I believe that we at NXT are building something together that is going to be looked back on in 10 years the same way that we looked back on the ECW period as being revolutionary at that time, and this is something that I want to be involved in."
Of course, even though Balor says that, it's not necessarily up to him. If WWE can think of a storyline for him on the main roster in the next four months or possibly early next year. It seems like a strong possibility that he's going to be on the main roster prior to WrestleMania next year and that his entrance will be phenomenal at a major show like that. Another subject mentioned in the interview was a graphic that Balor shared on social media a few days ago. It was a graphic of Paul Heyman sitting at a table in front of a wall that had Balor dressed up as his "demon" character. https://twitter.com/wwebalor/status/631254277428748288 Balor explained that while he's a big admirer of Heyman and they've had a lot of interesting talks, it was really just him sharing fan art because he likes to do stuff like that. There's really nothing to it although it sure had a lot of internet fans buzzing about the possibilities. Some of the other subjects Balor discussed involved his upcoming NXT Title match with Kevin Owens and hitting his head on the roof of a building during a recent NXT show.
