The first problem with the Wyatt-Balor feud is that while Wyatt's promos were impressive when he first made his debut, they sound very repetitive now, even when he does not repeat himself. This week, we learned of the second problem with what could have been a dream feud for fans!

Think back to all the men who have appeared in the middle of the ring when the lights go out, to play mind games with their opponents. The Undertaker, Kane... heck, even the deranged Wyatt Family. Each of them is a real creepy, sadistic gimmick.
This week, Balor appeared, not as a demon but as a man in a jacket. The effect was far from scary and in fact, it was almost comical. The crowd does not really seem invested in the program and this week did nothing to help matters in that very regard.
If Balor has to be seen as a supernatural entity, he has to tap into his dark side and show up as the Demon King on RAW, before the pay-per-view event! Bear in mind, nobody has seen The Demon avatar in over a year!
