3. SummerSlam 2018

The most recent incarnation of Finn’s Demon character — and its first appearance in almost a year -- saw some welcome changes to the well established look. While the devouring, fanged mouth with its large slithering tongue was featured, it was relegated to just Bálor’s chest and neck -- rather than also covering his face. Instead, a previously unseen and unique black and red design adorned the superstar's visage. It seemed more superhero-like in appearance, similar to that of a comic book warrior's mask.

Meanwhile, a fanged cavern was added to Finn's back and further fangs were present on his hands. And while the dreadlock headdress was present for his entrance, Bálor’s usual arm sleeves were gone as red and black wraps and bicep tassels took their place. A further red floor-length covering also saw its debut -- reminiscent of an earlier used waist sash but much fuller.

It was a wholly unique incarnation of the Demon and a fresh change to the established character. The yearlong absence of Finn Bálor’s alter ego also helped to add a special flavor to the Demon King's long-awaited re-emergence.
