A match between Rey Mysterio and Finn Bálor could go one of multiple ways -- all of which would be a surefire delight to any fan. Lately, Finn's image has been that of an amiable guy who shows humbling respect to opponents who deserve such. An honorable meeting between the two would no doubt still be a dream match, but it would lack that added flair.

If Bálor’s Demon King alter-ego were to rear its head however, it could lend a unique touch to the bout. Mysterio’s look, from his colorful attire and multitude of masks, has been swooned over by fans since his debut on the national stage in WCW. Rey has also been known to channel some of his favorite comic book heroes for inspiration. Meanwhile, Bálor used to turn similar inspirations into realities through his body paint and has since continually varied his Demon look through its many incarnations.

A match between a superhero-inspired Rey and yet another frightening version of Bálor’s Demon would be worth it for the entrances and outfits alone -- never mind the fact that the two highly gifted superstars would be sure to have an outstanding bout.
