Fans are anticipating the return of "The Demon" against Roman Reigns
SmackDown's events have led many to believe that Finn Balor is bringing back "The Demon" persona. Balor's alter-ego is one of the most protected characters of the modern era and it isn't surprising that fans are excited.
The last time fans saw "The Demon" in action was at Super ShowDown in 2019. He defended his Intercontinental title against Andrade in a singles match.

"The Demon" has defeated some of the biggest names in WWE. However, Finn Balor opened up on WWE's usage of "The Demon" last year, and didn't seem happy about it:
“I feel like the main element that The Demon had was the element of surprise and I feel like we lost that in a sense and it became more like a crutch for Finn,” Balor said.

The WWE Universe is thrilled at the idea of "The Demon" coming back. Fans took to Twitter to share their thoughts about what happened at the end of SmackDown:
I don’t wanna hear ANYBODY complain about how Finn Balor was booked tonight. Because in kayfabe? Even in the stage he was in after being attacked by The Usos? He STILL almost beat Roman Reigns. WWE is booking him to be a DAMN big deal! Esp with that little tease of The Demon! pic.twitter.com/MhX4W8DMdm

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
