Despite the appearance of Finn Balor's Demon persona on numerous occasions between 2016-2019, there was one big problem that plagued him: inconsistency.

This wasn't inconsistency on his end, of course. We're talking about the inconsistency in WWE's presentation of him. He made several appearances as The Demon, and by all means, WWE went out of their way to protect the character.

Interestingly enough, Finn Balor's sole loss as The Demon in WWE was at NXT in 2016 to Samoa Joe. The Demon persona is undoubtedly popular with the WWE Universe and can help propel him to full-time main event status.

As mentioned above, the biggest problem that plagued Finn Balor between 2016-2019 was inconsistent booking, and he was presented as a main event star from day one, only to lose all that momentum upon his return.

Finn Balor has been in high-profile matches since 2017. He even challenged Brock Lesnar for the Universal title in 2019. But there were plenty of buffer periods where Finn Balor had cooled down.

Given SmackDown's momentum as WWE's new "A-show," The Demon could be the perfect way to shoot Finn Balor up to a permanent spot in the main event scene.
