#5 His iconic entrance
One of the best things about Finn Balor’s overall gimmick is his entrance. His entrance is so good that it leaves the WWE Universe with goosebumps.
Initially, during his days in NXT and later on the main roster, his demon entrance was considered the best and even to this day fans look back at his best entrances as The Demon. Whenever a big event or pay-per-view is held, WWE goes back on calling out The Demon in Finn Balor to entertain the crowds a little bit more.
On regular shows, Balor now sports his cool Balor Club jacket to the ring as he raises his arms in the air with the fans following suit, much like a concertmaster.
The visual of the entire crowd throwing their hands in the air with Balor is great to showcase his popularity.
While this entrance is as good as any other in WWE, it only came into being after Balor unexpectedly did it while painted as The Demon in NXT. The fans caught on so quickly that it became a part of his entrance no matter what, and Triple H decided it should become a fixture in his entrance.
