Jerry 'The King' Lawler just plain doesn't like Finn Bálor's slick leather jacket and trunks look. On his Dinner With The King podcast, Lawler even went so far as to suggest Finn needs to retire that look permanently and start slapping on the 'Demon' make-up way more often.

This is a divisive subject. One one hand, the Demon look is much more dramatic than Bálor's regular get up, but it does also make sense that Finn would want to save the face paint for big occasions. That's the case this year anyway, because the Demon makes a comeback against Bray Wyatt at SummerSlam and feels much grander because fans haven't seen it in so long.

Bálor's last major match as the Demon came at SummerSlam 2016, so it's been a full year. That's not regular enough for Lawler. Whilst the veteran does realise how time-consuming it must be for Finn to get into the character, he thinks it's worth it in the long run.
