Both Seth Rollins and Finn Balor were given ample promo time on this week's episode. Firstly, Rollins performed his speech live in the middle of the ring. The crux of his segment seemed to revolve around poking fun at Balor's fascination with Irish mythology. That set things up nicely for a rebuttal from Finn later.

Balor's skit was a little different. In a pre-taped promo behind the scenes, he was shown sitting down in a darkened room on a chair. Images of various Irish myths and monsters flashed across the screen, narrated by a Balor who was eager to explain to his new audience (that may have neglected to watch NXT) what he was all about.

Right at the end of his promo, Balor was swiftly turned into the demonic character fans of the developmental brand have come to know and love. For a brief second or two, Finn was shown in his demon get up on screen before the promo faded to black.

It seems Balor will appear in his extravagant demon guise at SummerSlam, which is the perfect place to introduce that character to the main roster.
