Potential Update regarding WWE's plans for Finn Balor's match against 49-year-old Star at WrestleMania 39 - Reports

After WWE reportedly scrapped plans for Finn Balor and Edge to face off inside Hell in a Cell at the Royal Rumble in January, it now seems as though the two will face off at WrestleMania, with the Irish star potentially donning his iconic demon body paint once again.

During his early days in WWE, Balor would tap into his dark side and intimidate his opponents ahead of their match. The last time fans saw Finn as The Demon was at Extreme Rules 2021, where he faced off against Roman Reigns.

However, with Finn and Edge's rivalry now having lasted almost an entire year, WRKD Wrestling has reported that Balor may be returning as some form of The Demon at WrestleMania 39 in order to finally beat The Rated R Superstar for good.

​

"The idea of Finn Balor potentially being some form of “The Demon” has been floated for Wrestlemania against Edge. This was previously planned for their scrapped Hell in a Cell match at the Royal Rumble."
