Finn Balor won his first Universal Championship against Seth Rollins at SummerSlam 2016 using his alter ego the Demon King. The alternate personality is a convenient way to show him as a potential threat to Lashley's title reign at WrestleMania 35.

The Demon King never lost a match in the main roster. Whenever Balor portrays that gimmick he is displayed as a superhuman. He looks more strong and aggressive. Thus, WWE may likely have a contest between the Demon King and Bobby Lashley at WrestleMania. The Demon King is capable of defeating The Almighty Lashley.

However, there is a problem with that storytelling. Finn Balor utilizing the Demon King at WrestleMania would be like a move of desperation. It would appear that the normal Finn Balor is not strong enough to defeat Lashley.

Balor winning as the Demon King would attach a stereotype to him. It would make the normal Finn Balor as a superstar not good enough to win big matches. The Superhero/weakling kind of character would not suit Balor in the long run. Especially if he wishes to be a top guy.
