Who the heck is going to beat this guy?
12) No ‘Demon King’
The main event of Extreme Rules was the fatal 5-way: Roman Reigns vs Finn Balor vs Bray Wyatt vs Seth Rollins vs Samoa Joe. The winner earned themselves a WWE Universal Title shot against Brock Lesnar.
Many fans noticed that Balor was not using his ‘Demon King’ persona for the match. Something he uses for only big matches.
Some fans liked the decision, others disliked it:
OK, cool, they’re not doing the demon Bálor for every PPV. Good. #ExtremeRules
