Fuck WWE.
Unless they actually use their brains and make it a interference loss, Finn is losing clean as the Demon. That’s so fucking useless and dumb as shit. It literally helps nobody. I’ve been telling you people, it’s always the same booking with Roman, just a new coat of paint.
Have the Demon lose to someone you want to build up to be a top heel (like when he lost to Joe in NXT. He was the champ, not Joe.) not someone who’s already been established for a year now and is the champ.
Fuck WWE. That is all.
Good show but typical WWE bullshit that their 9/11 tribute show didn’t feature the one person on their roster who actually had a father die on that day. I’ve never seen a company beg to be disliked so much
Look, I'm not looking forward to Demon Finn most likely losing at Extreme Rules, but I'm gonna enjoy him while I have him. Also, for those who don't know, this will probably be his second loss...Samoa Joe was his [first](https://www.wwe.com/videos/samoa-joe-vs-finn-balor-nxt-title-steel-cage-match-nxt-takeover-the-end-full-match-wwe-network-exclusive).
But he was moving to the main roster when he lost so it was kind of like his retirement at NXT. He just got back to the main roster. To be losing just like that os just heartbreaking
True, I get that. I'm just sharing some knowledge, but it's gonna suck no matter what. I'd hate for him to come back just to lose, but I'll take it. It's been too damn long.
If Demon Balor loses just to reigns and family I'll be pissed. His character should have to lose to the likes of the 3 golden shovel characters. HHH, Cena and Reigns' combined efforts.
"For me in this moment in my career, I feel like The Demon would be a step back. I feel like right now with my ring work as The Prince I feel very comfortable, I feel very controlled, I feel very confident, and I feel that’s the direction I have to go at TakeOver.” -Finn Balor
"It'll be good shit pal, bring out that painted guy you do and we'll have Roman beat another unbeatable persona" -VKM
Except it does because Brock specifically said he’s after the belt.. so he’ll only be feuding with whoever is holding the belt and Roman vs Brock is money
I don't get why they don't save the surprise for the Extreme Rules entrance. Have Balor walk out as Demon Balor to surprise the crowd, big pop, excitement... Oh well.
Roman saying the same “I’m gonna smash this person, like I smashed this person” every single feud is getting kinda old.. they really can’t take paul away from him until they’re ready to remove the belt from him entirely. He’s gotten a little better on the mic but if it’s not John cena he’s cutting a promo on.. he just doesn’t sound menacing.
I’m glad the demons back.. though it’s bitter sweet bc I know they’re bringing him back to get destroyed.
I like the subtle teases of the bloodline crumbling.. with Roman now having to help the USOS win.. excited to see where they go with that
OH SHIT HES GONNA LOSE
WHAT THE FUCK ARE THEY DOING TO THE DEMON
WAIY HE’LL LOSE BY VERY CONTRIVED MEANS LIKE LOTS OF INTERFERENCE WHICH MEANS HE’LL STILL LOOK STRONG
The way i see it if they do have him lose, maybe have it interrupted by having big e cash in and take it from roman to establish e as a legit main eventer..but that would require wwe to have faith in someone like E.
Uhhh. The demon is sick. Also incredibly protected. Roman conquering the demon feels pointless to me. Perhaps demon balor goes over Roman but I doubt it.
Don’t like them giving the demon away this early but whatever. I really hope Finn doesn’t lose as the demon though. That completely shits on the character.
One of the best SD's of the year hands down
Damn that opening segment was dope, Brock is just a different animal.
Really fun opening 20 man tag match, them bringing out Trae Young was such a heel move lol
Absolute banger of a match with Edge vs Rollins
Goood main event with The Uso's vs Street profits, Holy shit Demon Balor
There’s no way the demon just comes back to lose at Extreme Rules. It’s gotta be a fuck finish or some Brock shenanigans. Or maybe it’s pumpkin demon balor which is the lowest tier demon
I think it's been implied that the more he lets the demon out, the closer the demon gets to taking complete control. It's why he's painted more each time.
COULD IT BE??? IS IT??? OH MY GOODNESS IT IS IT IS! ITS THE DEMON! THE DEMON HERE ON SMACKDOWN! ITS THE DEMON AND HE IS ON SMACKDOWN NOW! THERE WAS A RED LIGHT LAST WEEK AND WE WONDERED WHO COULD IT BE BUT NOW WE KNOW IT WAS THE DEMON BECAUSE HE IS HERE ON SMACKDOWN!!!!

Some dude wearing face paint isn’t that important, relax.
How dare I have a favorite wrestler, right?
He’s your favourite wrestler but you don’t remember Joe was the champ when he beat him?
I haven't watch a Smackdown since the Attitude Era, seriously. Damn this was good! Every time I watch Raw it's been a bunch of filler.
[Smackdown Demon King Return](https://youtu.be/iJHywd05EKg)
dude this show fucked HARD
Good show but typical WWE bullshit that their 9/11 tribute show didn’t feature the one person on their roster who actually had a father die on that day. I’ve never seen a company beg to be disliked so much
Slow and steady wins the race. Obviously a freaked out WWE doesn't realize that for the Demon's entrance.
Great show. Not a lot of matches, but the ones we got were very solid.

Fergal and his eight packs.
This was the best WWE show all year on TV of course
"For me in this moment in my career, I feel like The Demon would be a step back. I feel like right now with my ring work as The Prince I feel very comfortable, I feel very controlled, I feel very confident, and I feel that’s the direction I have to go at TakeOver.” -Finn Balor "It'll be good shit pal, bring out that painted guy you do and we'll have Roman beat another unbeatable persona" -VKM
The same thought popped into my mind. That how Finn shrugged off the Demon gimmick once he was back to NXT
Oh man I hope the Demon beats Roman. Brock and Roman's feud truly doesn't need the belt
They are going to fight for Heyman’s services. Paul on a Pole match
Except it does because Brock specifically said he’s after the belt.. so he’ll only be feuding with whoever is holding the belt and Roman vs Brock is money
i mean he could just as easily cut a promo being like "well after this shit with Heyman I'm not after the belt anymore it's PERSONAL grrrr" idk man
I wish they would alter Finn's theme a bit as The Demon...make it sound darker and less "crowd pop-y" but other than that i love it.
FOR THE FIRST TIME EVERY GOD DAMN DO THEY NOT HAVE ANYTHING NEW TO SAY!?!?!
It’s gonna hurt when he’s fed to Roman, it’s hard to be a Balor fan
I don't get why they don't save the surprise for the Extreme Rules entrance. Have Balor walk out as Demon Balor to surprise the crowd, big pop, excitement... Oh well.
Yeah felt like they shat on that potential.
Does the Demon really lose to Roman? Are they bringing it back just to sell Halloween costumes?!
Good thing they are dusting the cobwebs off the demon Just to see him job out to boring ass Roman
Just rename the show smackdown bloodline at this point
God damn smackdowns been great
Roman saying the same “I’m gonna smash this person, like I smashed this person” every single feud is getting kinda old.. they really can’t take paul away from him until they’re ready to remove the belt from him entirely. He’s gotten a little better on the mic but if it’s not John cena he’s cutting a promo on.. he just doesn’t sound menacing.

I like the subtle teases of the bloodline crumbling.. with Roman now having to help the USOS win.. excited to see where they go with that
When Malakai comes , they satya quiet. Here, Cole just can't stay shut .
Liked how the Usos backed off. Showed respect.
If Joe can beat the demon, Roman can.
Damn this episode was so fucking good
Would be a candidate for my favorite show of the year if it didn't have twenty years of ads
Candidate? That still was nowhere near as good as Punk's return or All Out
I figured it was implied that I wasn't counting ppvs. Also it's my own opinion, don't get pressed about it.
You figured wrong.

Well Reigns was basically wtf is this goofy shit. Not even an ounce of being worried. Reigns will win. Shit
Roman will sadly beat Demon Finn at Extreme Rules rendering the gimmick obsolete on the Main Roster.
Good show can't wait for Big E too cash in!!
OH SHIT HES GONNA LOSE WHAT THE FUCK ARE THEY DOING TO THE DEMON WAIY HE’LL LOSE BY VERY CONTRIVED MEANS LIKE LOTS OF INTERFERENCE WHICH MEANS HE’LL STILL LOOK STRONG
The way i see it if they do have him lose, maybe have it interrupted by having big e cash in and take it from roman to establish e as a legit main eventer..but that would require wwe to have faith in someone like E.
I'll be a son of a bitch that was a great show.
I get thinking they did it too early but it’s MSG
So Brocks definitely getting involved at Extreme Rules right? The Demons not getting beaten right?? Right?!?!
That was a SUPERB show
Man, I really don't want them feeding Demon Finn to Roman but I guess there's no avoiding it now
Commentary ruined the return of demon fin and Roman and uso no selling didn’t help but still excited for this!
oh demon back from nxt. is he going to be brocks manager now? hehe
Every once in awhile you just tune in at the right time. Happy to see the Demon Balor back on WWE TV.
Ah yes. "Demon Balor." The dude that got beat by Kane clean.
Kane vs the Demon happened?
I like finn balor
If Cena come out and Demon Finn Balor faces him in a squash match someone at the show please record the pop.
feeding the demon to roman seems like a waste
Then talking through the demons entire entrance ruined that for me man.
WWE should have requested 10 mins over ala the days of 2 hr RAW
They just booked themselves in a real corner. Roman shouldn’t lose the belt yet and Finn shouldn’t lose as The Demon yet
Paul Heyman literally looks like Satan under that red light, and I appreciate that
Damn. Who loses.
That means he's gonna look even better at Extreme Rules
One hell of a smackdown!!
friday nights rule. we get 3 hours of great wrestling.
AEW is 2 hrs tonight too
Yeah, It's the complete opposite of Monday nights lol...
Might have been the best episode of TV they've done in 10 years.
Damnit Finn deserves the belt. He's never had a proper shot at it
I usually appreciate Pat, but he needed to lay out for that one
Pat, every fucker watching knew the light was for The Demon
The beard makes him look even more badass
Nah Finn dont eat carbs
As someone unfamiliar with Bálor, is the demon gimmick good? Is this a good thing that’s happening?
Its his undefeated dark place spooooky persona. Its like when Foley would change into Cactus Jack for the *really* hardcore matches.
OH. Okay, I get it now. Thanks for the analogy!
Uhhh. The demon is sick. Also incredibly protected. Roman conquering the demon feels pointless to me. Perhaps demon balor goes over Roman but I doubt it.
WHAT A FUCKING EPISODE. TONS TO UNPACK
Did they rush the Demon entrance in your view?
I think they should have teased it a little more.
Yes.
Yup, think they could’ve played it out a little longer
What an episode of smackdown
Don’t like them giving the demon away this early but whatever. I really hope Finn doesn’t lose as the demon though. That completely shits on the character.
Same here.
Roman Reigns is not impressed
Didn't even acknowledge him
Time for rampage baby
Would have been 30x better without the commentary.
Ah shit don't give me hope. I don't want demon Balor to take his first loss. But no way he goes over Roman right?
I thought joe gave demon balor his first loss
Main roster demon hasn't lost yet I think. Joe beat him in nxt. He's used demon vs Rollins, aj, Corbin, Lashley, and Wyatt?
Glad they actually tried this week, hopefully its not an anomaly bc of the Garden .
It was.
Belt dreads still look stupid as fuck tho
This commentary is awful...
Awesome show. On to Rampage
Heyman is gonna need a new pair of pants
I love the look of the Demon except for the wig so I’m glad he took it off.
WHAT A SHOW
That was a really amazing episode of Smackdown, not much else to say than that.
One of the best SD's of the year hands down Damn that opening segment was dope, Brock is just a different animal. Really fun opening 20 man tag match, them bringing out Trae Young was such a heel move lol Absolute banger of a match with Edge vs Rollins Goood main event with The Uso's vs Street profits, Holy shit Demon Balor
There’s no way the demon just comes back to lose at Extreme Rules. It’s gotta be a fuck finish or some Brock shenanigans. Or maybe it’s pumpkin demon balor which is the lowest tier demon
Goldberg beat WWEs most over demon in The Fiend
Did Pumpkin Demon Balor ever actually wrestle?
Nope
Cena comes out and takes out the demon to get a rematch
LOL imagine it happens again.
Roman no selling the Demon dont really help Finn
The Demon>>>>>The Fiend
Fuck, that paint job is the best yet imo
It's not an alter ego he's literally a fucking demon Michael. Jesus.
Darby Balor
OH SHIT OH SHIT OH SHIT
I think I just wet myself a little.
Did finn say why he didn’t use the demon in forever? Like in the nxt run he just had.
EVERYONE TO TNT
Aew Marks would explode if this was on there tv
My nips could cut diamonds
I am disappointed that the demon will lose
I hope not. Brock and Roman don't need a belt for their match anyway and if anyone deserves the rub from Roman losing it is Finn.
the shorts take away a little menace...
In kayfabe is there a reason Balor doesn't always wrestle in Demon mode?
Cole mentioned the demon came out only when Balor is pushed to his limit
He’s good enough w/o it, only certain people push him to that point
I think it's been implied that the more he lets the demon out, the closer the demon gets to taking complete control. It's why he's painted more each time.
“When he’s pushed too far he releases the inner demon.”
Why not wait for the night of for the reveal?
FOX, MSG, more eyes on the product on TV, sell some Peacock subs. Take your pick.
Easy answer Generate hype ?
Y’all remember “Demon King” 🤢
Alright shut up Cole you don't have to explain every single line of thought behind the Demon
Damn this Smackdown been fire!
why did they do that shot demon looks fuckin janky
Roman is unbothered.
Oh hell yeah
The demon entrance always takes me back to 2015 NXT, it was epic
Such a terrible terrible idea. Building this up just to take a loss
I don't want them overusing the demon, but the demon at MSG is a great way to bring that character back
MARKING THE FUCK OUT
damn i would love to see the Demon & Darby go
Gross
This would have been better if the commentary could have stayed quiet for a bit
COULD IT BE??? IS IT??? OH MY GOODNESS IT IS IT IS! ITS THE DEMON! THE DEMON HERE ON SMACKDOWN! ITS THE DEMON AND HE IS ON SMACKDOWN NOW! THERE WAS A RED LIGHT LAST WEEK AND WE WONDERED WHO COULD IT BE BUT NOW WE KNOW IT WAS THE DEMON BECAUSE HE IS HERE ON SMACKDOWN!!!!
Take my fucking money
Has he ever lost as the Demon?
Joe beat him
Joe
Samoa Joe, June 2016
Not in WWE but did to Samoe Joe in NXT
Samoa Joe
Yeah to Samoa Joe
To Samoa Joe at TakeOver: The End
Once to Joe
On NXT. Yes. On Main roster. No.
To samoa joe in NXT
Lmao that beard looks kinda goofy with the paint.
The Fiend died for this sadly.
Great Value Fiend*
I’m going to mark out so hard if demon Finn Balor wins the belt
Rising out of that mist like Donny Most
I really wish they just let this moment happen without the commentary pointing out the obvious shit
Would’ve been nice if the announcers stayed quiet and just let Finn make his entrance
I’m genuinely a huge fan of Roman but he shouldn’t beat the Demon it would be so wrong
Same this is tough.
So at extreme rules demon Finn take his first loss cool... Let's kill more cool characters
He lost to Samoa Joe in NXT
Did he not lose to Joe in NXT?
That headpiece needs to go away forever.
This is hype
I'm nutting
“Wait…is this another Fiend minion?”
Bearded Demon.
“FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER ON SMACKDOWN!” They really love making Cole kill moments, don’t they?
Demon looks boss AF
Demon Finn is still undefeated right?
Samoa Joe beat him in NXT, that's his only loss
He lost to Samoa joe
On main roster yes. Joe at Takeover is still the only one to have beat him
For 2 more weeks :(
The demon first lost was actually in NXT
Was it to Joe or Nakamura?
He lost to Samoa Joe at Takeover: The End in a steel cage match
For now lol
Pat and Cole doing their absolute best to ruin this moment
Oh my god, is it? Can it be? Is it? You better believe it! I can’t believe it! Can it be?
LET'S GOOOOOO DOOD!
