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.

We are back and Finn Balor is in the interview area. He is asked about what he has to say to Bray. Finn thanks Bray for doubting him as a man. He thanks Bray for pushing him to the limit to conger his inner strength. He wants to thank Bray for having him know what he can do. He asks Bray to have humility for him and Goldust as well as the others he has tormented. Finn is asked what is next and he says he is gunning for the Universal title.

 

Finn Bálor is walking backstage when he sees Goldust. Bálor calls him “Goldy.” Goldust says he knows he’s an extraordinary man, but what gives him the right to take shots at his expense. Goldust is not a victory. He didn’t ask for Bálor’s help and didn’t need it. Goldust can do it all by himself. Bálor says he has nothing but respect for him and considers him a friend. Bálor apologizes for offending him in any way. Goldust says maybe Bálor is right and apologizes. Goldust then attacks Bálor and slams him onto a steel structure. Goldust quotes The Godfather II and tells him to keep his friends close, but his enemies closer.

 

Finn Balor walks in the back and he is not in a good mood, but he will face Goldust. We go to commercial.

After Wyatt’s win against Goldust, Balor appears on the big screen and interrupts his music. Balor has a story about a shy little boy who always felt a little different. The boy grew into a man who created a demon. Balor asks if the demon is a creation of the man, then which is more dangerous. Balor says Wyatt will find out at No Mercy. Wyatt laughs in the ring as Balor’s music hits.

At WWE No Mercy, Finn Bálor — not The Demon — will lock up with Bray Wyatt in a “man-to-man” confrontation that could potentially play out far differently than their battle at SummerSlam.

 

Can Bálor prove his dominance over the twisted Eater of Worlds without the aid of his Demon persona, or will Wyatt silence Bálor Club by conquering the Irishman?

 

Don’t miss Raw at 8/7 C on USA Network!

Though Bray Wyatt failed to defeat Finn Bálor at SummerSlam, The New Face of Fear has found a way to put The Demon to rest, as his Irish adversary will step into the darkness without the help of his alter-ego in a highly anticipated SummerSlam rematch on Sunday, Sept. 24, at WWE No Mercy.

 

Wyatt initially set this rivalry ablaze when he delivered an eerie warning to Bálor back in July, leading to numerous encounters between the two increasingly hostile adversaries. In the past, Wyatt has shown a distinct ability to get inside the heads of his foes, but at SummerSlam, Bálor’s Demon persona proved to be the equalizer.

 

However, on the Aug. 28 episode of Raw, Wyatt appeared out of the darkness to throw Bálor over the top rope during a Battle Royal to determine who would challenge Miz for the Intercontinental Title, costing the Irishman a potential championship opportunity.

 

Hell-bent on putting an end to his war with Wyatt, the first-ever Universal Champion called out The Eater of Worlds the following week on Raw. The Man of 1,000 Truths was happy to oblige his foe in a fight, but he made it clear it had to be man-to-man.

 

Can Bálor defeat Wyatt in a man-to-man showdown? Or, was it The Demon who was the only one capable of toppling The Eater of Worlds, as Wyatt suggests?

 

See who wins this epic war when Finn Bálor and Bray Wyatt face off in a huge rematch at WWE No Mercy on Sunday, Aug. 24, at 8 ET/4 PT, streaming live on the award-winning WWE Network.

Balor tells Omaha that this is Balor Club. Finn says the NXT Championship used to look real good around his waist. The Universal Title used to look real good around that waist. The Intercontinental Title would have looked good around this waist if it weren’t for Bray Wyatt. When Bray appeared in the battle royal, it cost him the opportunity to challenge the Miz. While he may have been victorious at SummerSlam, you don’t truly beat someone like Bray Wyatt. They appear when you least expect him. The next time you appear, he will be ready.

 

Balor says he has chosen his fate and he is not afraid. Finn says he does not run from his demons because sometimes, he becomes one. If you want to continue to play games week after week, let’s play.

 

The lights go out and Bray appears on the TitanTron. Bray says he remembers going fishing when he was young. Bray says after a while, he got bored and it just became too easy. Bray says he decided he wanted to shake things up and he put his weapon down and he started to use his hands, just his hands. His hands became judge, jury, and executioner. Bray says he showed no mercy. When he had the chance to end that pathetic existence, he made the choice and that choice defined him. Bray says he knew what his purpose was. You were victorious at SummerSlam. The Demon won. That is your bow and arrow. Bray wants Finn to face him man to man and show him no mercy. Bray tells Finn to define your legacy. Bray tells Finn to make a choice.

 

Finn says he has made his choice and he is Finn Balor.

 

Bray says there he is, the confident hero they all dream of becoming. The question remains, can a mere mortal topple a god or will you just be like the others, running around like a scared rabbit. He tells Finn to run. We go to commercial.
