WWE Legend Pushes For Finn Balor’s “Demon” To Return For Epic Showdown With Cody Rhodes
Cody Rhodes has been on a rollercoaster ride since his WWE return at WrestleMania 38.
He ended Roman Reigns’ legendary reign at WrestleMania 40, shockingly dropped the title to a heel John Cena at WrestleMania 41, and then redeemed himself by dethroning a babyface Cena at SummerSlam. From Roman to Owens to Cena, Rhodes has fought them all — and now, fans are craving fresh rivalries.
And WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash has just thrown a blockbuster idea into the mix.
Kevin Nash Wants Cody Rhodes vs. Finn Balor… But With a Twist
Speaking on Kliq, Nash revealed he doesn’t just want Rhodes to face Finn Balor — he specifically wants “The Demon” Balor back for the battle.

“I haven’t seen Balor wrestle Cody in a while. I’d like to watch that. Finn, Cody, I would like to see that match … but I want to see him as the demon.” [h/t Wrestling Inc]
For long-time WWE fans, that suggestion hits hard. The last time Balor unleashed “The Demon” was at Extreme Rules 2021 in his high-stakes clash with Roman Reigns. Though he didn’t walk out with the Universal Championship, the mystique of “The Demon” remains unmatched.
Why This Match Would Be Huge
While Rhodes and Balor have squared off in the past, Cody has never faced Balor’s darker alter ego. The Demon persona brings an entirely different energy — one that could be the perfect way to elevate Rhodes’ next title feud and give fans something they’ve never seen before.
If WWE pulls the trigger on Nash’s idea, we could be in for one of the most electrifying rivalries in years.
