Something about Finn Bálor defying the odds just sounds like a great story however. Honestly, it's a win he deserves, even if his on screen character doesn't; Bálor has been booked like a muppet for so long that his shout for permanent top billing has been reduced to a whimper. He might require some seasoning before winning the big one again.

'The Demon' would change that.

Bálor has already warned the media that he won't be donning the face paints in Phoenix. According to the man himself, there hasn't been enough time to think about it. That sounds like kayfabe coolness to us, and may not prove correct come Sunday; Finn's on screen character might not have known about the match ahead of time, but the real man surely did.

WWE will be aware of all this speculation, and they may well want to keep Bálor's alter-ego back for the grand stage of WrestleMania. If they do, Bálor can bust out his 'Demon' in a few short months for a dream match nobody would be expecting.
