finn balor — GB news

Finn Bálor is set to face Dominik Mysterio at WrestleMania 42. The event will take place on April 18, 2026, at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.

Bálor will be reviving his iconic persona, ‘The Demon,’ for this highly anticipated match. This marks the first time he has used this persona in three years.

Previously, Bálor was a member of The Judgment Day but was ejected from the group. Following his exit, he challenged Mysterio to a match at WrestleMania.

Within hours of the announcement, the match was changed to a Street Fight. This change adds an extra layer of intensity to an already heated rivalry.

Bálor won their encounter at WrestleMania 42. He secured victory with a Coup de Grace through a table—a move that showcases his high-flying style.

Mysterio had previously pinned Bálor in a fatal four-way match last year at WrestleMania. This history adds stakes to their upcoming showdown.

Bálor described summoning ‘The Demon’ as draining yet exhilarating. “It’s not something that I can really describe in words. It’s a feeling. It’s an emotion. It’s an energy,” he stated.

He also warned Mysterio, saying, “Trust me, it’s gonna be very painful for Dominik Mysterio.” Fans eagerly await this clash on April 18.
