Finn Balor Demon Return on SmackDown October 30
The night belonged to Danhausen, who had promised to reveal his “most evil experiment” on his Very Nice, Very Evil edition of SmackDown. When he arrived to unveil it, Gunther interrupted and tore through a group of Minihausens sent to stop him.
Then the lights turned red — and out came The Demon. Balor and The Ring General brawled around the ring, ending with Balor delivering a Coup De Grace from the top of a ladder through the announce table. A visibly battered Danhausen joined The Demon for his signature pose to close the segment.
First Demon Appearance Since WrestleMania 42
The last time fans saw The Demon on WWE programming was at WrestleMania 42, where Balor faced Dominik Mysterio in a Street Fight. His return — paired with Danhausen’s chaos — sets up a potentially explosive alliance heading into the winter season.
