I hope Alexa wins the belt and drops this lame Fiend era gimmick.

Match on SD was good. Dawkins kick out got me shook. The man ate a double superkick and an uso splash. Totally thought the match was over. This should be really good, I think. I'd personally have Profits take the belts again here to freshen up the scene a bit. It's been a while since they held them. Especially because Roman is 100% going to retain.

Also, I'm really liking the glitch match graphics this year. The green purple colours are doing it for me.

I like the purple and green for extreme rules too but I wish they wouldn't have it on the stage during Raw and SmackDown bc it looks so bad over the red for Raw especially

He was attacked during his entrance and was selling once the match started. Technically a cage wouldn't prevent that I guess

A cage didn’t stop the Usos from interfering when Roman wrestled KO

Yeah but you're supposed to forget about that by the time they tell you they're doing another a cage match to stop interference a few months later

Just realized Roman is gonna be the first person on the main roster to beat the Demon

Glad too, I never thought it was a big deal to beat the gimmick if the match was important enough. I'd always see people complain about it being too predictable that Finn would win if he was the demon but also say he shouldn't lose if he's the demon

What if Bork gets involved and just rips the door off

The gimmick is weird honestly. Like when he came out for big matches not as the Demon, and they hyped him up as being on another level in that form. I remember he came out as his usual self for his Brock match and it was like, It's Brock of all people

 

[Chris]

The kayfabe explanation I guess is that it takes a lot out of him to be the demon so he has to be pushed to that.....doesn't explain when he randomly did it for that Saudi match but hey lol

It's a bit muddled. I'm definitely more of a fan of Prince Balor myself with the cool ass jacket, I'm okay with this brief return though. Balor will probably up the aggression a bit as he usually does as The Demon. Should be a sitff/fun contest. They have nice chemistry, so can't be mad at the match.

 

[Cwalker]

Bro came out as his regular self at the Rumble in 2019 against Brock but wrestled as The Demon against Corbin the same year...

Yikes

 

[Dale]

Call me crazy but I actually think Finn has a good chance of winning the belt and i'm not entirely sure why, maybe it's just the demon thing. Roman & The Uso's losing the belts, more tension with Heyman and Brock's appearances causing them to go into disarray for a few months before regrouping and recapturing the title to start the build to Mania season.

First stipulation was announced on Raw last night as the Universal Title match is now Extreme Rules. Jeff Hardy also added to the US title match to make it a triple threat
