Finn Bálor may not have been able to get Bray Wyatt off his back once and for all at WWE TLC, but his Demon denied SmackDown LIVE’s AJ Styles in a one-off confrontation that came about when The Phenomenal One stepped in to bat cleanup. With The Phenomenal One surely back on Team Blue, Bálor faces his next step in his goal to reclaim the Universal Championship. What will the “Extraordinary Man” do?

After speculation as to whether or not the mysterious Sister Abigail was indeed among the living, Bray Wyatt formally introduced Finn Bálor to the otherworldly entity in an unnerving meeting this past Monday night.

“Bray may have unleashed something awful,” Bálor told Renee Young after the encounter. “When she spoke, I heard her words echo through my head. I felt a shiver up and down my spine. I felt pure evil. But I also felt that now I know what I have to do.”

Having already defeated Wyatt as The Demon and as a man, how will Bálor deal with The Eater of Worlds’ latest threat?

Finn Balor makes his way to the ring.

 

Finn says this is Balor Club in Indianapolis. Last week, Bray Wyatt introduced the world to Sister Abigail. Finn says he is speechless. Bray is like a poison or virus that mutates with all of the lies. Finn says he does not believe it. Finn is desperate for attention and is desperate to instill fear. He is desperate to have the WWE Universe listen to his garbage. Finn says he is not afraid of you. The Balor Club is not afraid of you. The Demon is not afraid of you. He tells Bray to bring on Sister Abigail and the whole family.

 

We see the rocking chair on the TitanTron and Bray sits down. You may not be afraid of him, but you will be afraid of her. She knew the truth and they turned her into that monster. He was there when she took her final breath and she chose him. They vowed to make them all burn. Now, the Season of the Witch is upon you. She’s here.

 

In a distorted voice, he says you men are all the same and you want to control everything. Bray is different. Bray is special. He has much to learn. He was taught at a young age that the world is an evil place. She promised him that she would be by his side. Here she is to fulfill her promise to her prince. Bray wouldn’t harm a fly, but look at what you did to him. You lied to him. She says she knows about demons. She says call it her speciality. She can turn a demon into a pretty little dandilion. You can’t beat me. She is worse than anything you ever read in your Irish Mythology books. Her touch could have saved you. Her kiss will burn it to the ground. Run.

 

Bray is back and he is laughing as we go to commercial.

 

Back from the break and Renee Young is backstage with Finn Balor for comments on what Bray Wyatt did tonight with Sister Abigail. Balor says after seeing Abigail and hearing her words, he fears Bray may have unleashed something awful. Balor heard her words echo through his head, he felt a shiver up his spine and he felt pure evil. But he also felt that he now knows what he has to do. Balor walks off.

We go live to Denver where the entire roster is on stage including Vince McMahon in remembrance of the lives lost in Las Vegas 24 hours ago.

 

Finn Balor heads to the ring to a big reaction from Denver. “This is Balor Club right here in Denver, Colorado.” Balor doesn’t like to come out here and talk. He prefers to fight. Balor talks about how Bray Wyatt likes to play mind games. He says Wyatt may refer to himself as a God or the Eater of Worlds, but he sees Bray for what he really is. Balor says Wyatt is a coward. “Bray, you lost to The Demon at SummerSlam. You lost to the man at No Mercy. You can make all the excuses that you want. But the simple fact is, you’re afraid.” He knows Wyatt can’t beat him. Balor invites Wyatt to come out here and face him.

 

Bray Wyatt shows up on the screen in his rocking chair saying “she never lied to me.” He says she “warned him” about people like Finn Balor. Wyatt calls Balor a liar for taking credit for creating The Demon. He wants Balor to show him his true face. Wyatt wants Balor to bring The Demon out again. “Abigail is alive and she is dying to meet you.” Wyatt appears to turn into a zombie-looking version of himself and starts laughing. We hear a woman’s laugh mix in with Wyatt’s laugh as the show goes to commercial.
