When "The Demon" comes out to play, you better watch out. Finn Balor's alter ago is more than just face and body paint; it's a frame of mind and a surprising in-ring brutality. Balor only signed with NXT in 2014, but it's easy to see why. He won significant gold and other accolades in New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW), and he was a founder and major part of that promotion's most significant and dominating faction, Bullet Club. Balor made an immediate impression when he debuted in NXT, quickly rising up in the ranks. He had a short-term tag team partnership with other new debut Hideo Itami, but they naturally went their separate ways. Balor has been in the main event picture for some time and always just misses winning the NXT Championship by a hair. Although he wasn't successful in his first battle against Kevin Owens, in July, the two will meet again in Japan with the gold on the line. Whether Balor finally wins the NXT Championship, he seems like a natural to appear in WWE's Money in the Bank. He's so talented that it's probably just a matter of time before he's called up to the main roster, so this would be a great first impression to make. Balor very well could walk away with the briefcase.
