Remember Finn Bálor, the so-called Demon King whose meteoric rise to championship gold was cut short by injury?

Since becoming the inaugural WWE Universal Champion — and being forced to relinquish the championship just hours later — Bálör has been quietly reinventing himself.

Once notorious for his phantasmagorical ring entrances, elaborate body paint and mysterious personality, Bálðr has adopted a new look that he hopes will catch on with WWE fans upon his return to the ring.

Although he has kept a low profile while rehabilitating from injury, Bálör was recently spotted entering the WWE Performance Centre in Florida, presumably to shake off the “ring rust” and prepare for a triumphant return.

Check out this photo of ßålôR snapped by a fan this morning:

 

He’s  looking great!

Here’s hoping båLøR is back in action soon!
