WWE News: Finn Balor reveals whether the Demon will show up to face Lesnar

What's the story?

Many feel that Finn Balor does not have a realistic chance of defeating Brock Lesnar on his own. But if Balor were to tap into his Demon King persona, then the equation would significantly change.

Balor recently chatted with Scott Fishman of TV Insider and revealed that it would be him facing Lesnar, and not his Demon King persona. He alluded to the David vs. Goliath story they're currently telling on RAW.

In case you didn't know...

Finn Balor was the first ever Universal Champion. Unfortunately, he had to relinquish the title the following night, owing to an injury.

Balor had another chance to regain the title in a rematch with Roman Reigns that he lost. Recently, he pinned John Cena in a multi-man match to become the Number 1 contender to the title.

The following week on RAW, while he had an impressing showing against Lesnar during his match with Braun Strowman, the Beast laid him out as the segment concluded.

The heart of the matter

Balor revealed that The Demon would not be facing The Beast at the Royal Rumble pay-per-view. Instead, it would be Finn Balor, the man, who steps up to the plate:

"I feel like maybe I leaned on 'The Demon' a little much in the past with regards to heavily relying on and hiding behind the paint. This is David vs. Goliath, and David was a man. Finn Bálor is a man. And Finn Bálor is going to walk in to face the Beast."

So what does he think of his chances? Finn Balor is confident:

"People laughed at David when he said he was going to stand up to Goliath. I'm sure there are people laughing at me, but we will see who is laughing when the Beast is slain at the Royal Rumble."

What's next?

Balor will step out as himself against his toughest opponent. Will he come out on top, however? That is the question!
