12 months ago, Finn Bálor was preparing to become the first ever Universal Champion by beating Seth Rollins at SummerSlam 2016. Now, he's involved in a hastily thrown together feud against a character WWE's scriptwriters seemingly don't know what the hell to do with. What a difference a year makes.

Below will play his own brand of mind games on a so-called master of them at this year's SummerSlam by bringing back his 'Demon' guise and attempting to rattle Wyatt. It'll be cool to see the face paint again, but what if Finn ends up losing just like he did this past Monday on Raw? Further, what if he loses clean?

Some would be disappointed, maybe even a little angry. The 'Demon vs. God' branding of the match suggests the Irishman will use his own supernatural character to better what Wyatt has to offer, yet it might not be the story WWE wish to tell. Oh God, you don't think this is 2017's version of the Sheamus/Cesaro story, do you?

Imagine Wyatt and Bálor ended up forming a tag-team.
