Finn Balor To Wrestle Bobby Lashley As The Demon At WrestleMania 35
Get ready for a new Intercontinental Champion at 'The Show Of Shows.'
Finn Balor will wrestle as the demon when he faces rival and Intercontinental Champion Bobby Lashley at WrestleMania 35 this weekend, as confirmed on last night's WWE Raw.
The revelation came during an in-ring interview segment with Charly Caruso. When asked if his client, Lashley, was concerned about facing Balor, Lio Rush called Finn's victory the previous week a fluke, then took a dig at host city Washington DC.
Caruso mentioned the demon, prompting Lashley to respond that it and Balor are "one and the same," and that if he can beat Balor, he can beat his alter ago, prompting the Irishman to appear on the big screen.
"I've always been a guy who's had demons," Finn said, "and at WrestleMania, my demon will be your nightmare." He then morphed into the Demon a la Bray Wyatt/Sister Abigail in their turgid 2017 feud.
Balor wrestling as the demon was called weeks ago, when Finn's painted second self was included on a WrestleMania 35 poster. The move all but guarantees victory in New York, as the gimmick remains undefeated on WWE's main roster, bringing an air of predictability to the Lashley clash. Still, few will complain if the fan favourite unseats 'The All Mighty' on Sunday.
