I love Balor... and I love the Demon gimmick

just seems like WWE understands the Demon needs to be a "special occurance" thing... but really doesn't know how to handle Balor otherwise

And the thing is it's nothing overdone and overproduced. It's mostly just her doing a VERY good job of being a bitch and believing she's the baddest bitch.

A lot of gimmicks do too much or the wrestlers don't play it off with confidence.

That's why to me she is the female Miz because his gimmick isn't too overproduced but he totally sells you on it. He just owns it.

True - this has quite a bit to do with the title holders & upper card in WWE.

Sasha Banks is atrocious with promos and overrated in the ring. Her purple hair is the only appealing thing about her. Guess that's enough for Vince.

no one in the foreseeable future is going over Balor while in the Demon King motif

Wyatt already got put over Balor on Monday night

No I think this sets up Alexa back to SD to have her vs Charlotte since HHH won't let asuka move up

The problem I always had was not really with her, but more her booking. Creative always booked her as a ridiculously strong (almost monster) heel that didn't have to resort to heel tactics to keep the belt, and was finishing with a simple DDT. That doesn't just make sense as the smallest gal on the entire roster.

I don't know how to handle Balor otherwise. He's way too over to be a cruiserweight, but too small to be a believable WWE Champ.

Well there's not a lot you can do with someone who weighs 175 lbs soaking wet.
