One of the concerns with Finn Balor transitioning from NXT to the main roster of WWE was his once-in-a-while entrance as The Demon.

In NXT, the arena, the stage, the set-up, everything is smaller. This allows for The Demon to get to the ring in a respectable amount of time, a potential issue with the larger entrance ramp of WWE.

As seen at SummerSlam 2016, The Demon King, as he's now called, came off quite well with any previous concerns seemingly rendered moot. Austin complimented the former NXT Champion's entrance by calling it "spectacular".

The Rattlesnake also had high praise for the WWE camera and production crew for the way in which Balor's entrance was shot. The filming of the entrance made Balor come off as a star, a necessary accomplishment considering he was moments away from being officiality crowned as the top performer on the company's flagship show as the brand new, first ever WWE Universal Champion.
