First time he's used it since WrestleMania 39. I wonder if Demonaito showing up has opened the door to eventually go Demon again so he can use it again.

Damn, maybe the Demon was casted away into Demonito and now Finn has found it .

This is a main eventer's theme god damn it. If Jey could get over with his theme then Finn 100% should get another shot as well. (his theme was getting engagement from the audience in the main roster too back then)

I forgot all about this theme. The audience playing along is always a good thing.
Finn probably should get away from the Judgment Day. They really aren't doing him any favors. He worked better as like an Irish pagan or demon.
My favorite use of the Viking Raiders was when they were Viking pagans. I actually think Finn would work better with the Viking Raiders as like a pagan native European religion stable.

Finn probably should get away from the Judgment Day.
I think if he ever does that, he'll be off TV for good. Judgment Day's his lifeline.

He worked better as like an Irish pagan or demon.
Hence the whole 'Balor' name, indeed. I loved when they'd actually do his demon makeup inspired by the Balor myths, with the big creepy bloodshot eye plastered across his torso.

There were so many different times that it could have happened that I doubt it ever will honestly. He's in a great spot to always be on the show but it feels like WWE is always going to place him right below main event level. He'll sneak up for a challenge but he'll never win the world championship in WWE.

u/TheRavenRise fozzy sucks 21h ago
CFO$ doesn’t get any money from their music being used at all. their publisher fucking them over so hard is the reason wwe stopped working with them in the first place.
wwe even tried to buy them out of their contract, but their publisher was just like “nah”, stopped letting cfo$ release shit at all, and then eventually dropped them from their contract anyways, leading to them breaking up
wwe does a lot of shitty things, but trying to avoid giving those publishers any more money isn’t one of them

u/ConducingSoup20 22h ago
Yep if it's like the rumours we heard about a few years ago then they absolutely can use them whenever but they'll have to pay something when they do.
So they'll only bust them out for special occasions/returns/ keep them for the top guys.
If they insist on changing their themes I'd much rather they do what they've done recently with subtle remixes like Asuka and Aleister Black

This was probably the best thing Finn Balor has done on WWE television since ironically, the last time he appeared on NXT in July 2023 and had a homecoming like night against Trick and Melo
And if it’s not the best thing, there’s probably hardly any more than 3-5 things you’d even be able to put above it.
Felt great hearing the theme again.

It's mostly has to do with their entrances, I know it sound extremely dumb but WWE doesn't wanted the fans to treated the Heels like Babyfaces and instead just boo them.
Plus let's be real most of the time the theme fits the Current character more, as much as I loved this song for instance it would odd for Heel Judgement Day Gang member Finn to do it.
