WrestleMania 41 is still over five months away. However, WWE legend The Boogeyman recently revealed that he would love to face former Universal Champion Finn Balor at next year's Show of Shows.
The Boogeyman is one of the most scariest characters in professional wrestling history. His fixation with eating real worms not only weirded out the audience but also made him a larger-than-life persona.
The 60-year-old veteran is currently under a Legends deal with WWE and makes sporadic appearances for the company. However, he hasn't competed in a WWE ring since the 2015 Royal Rumble match, where he was eliminated by the late Bray Wyatt. The Nightcrawler remains semi-retired, having last wrestled during the Great Fall Bash 2 on September 30, 2023.
An X (fka Twitter) user recently shared a photoshopped image of The Boogeyman vs. "The Demon" Finn Balor at WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas. The worm-eating wrestler was quick to notice as he responded to the tweet by saying," I love it."
Finn Balor last brought back his alter ego for his Hell in a Cell match against Adam 'Edge' Copeland on Night 2 of WrestleMania 39.
The Irishman clarified that The Demon gimmick wouldn't return until The Judgment Day storyline has run its course.
Martin Wright, at 60, is well past his prime. He underwent knee surgery last year and hasn't wrestled a match in 2024. WWE has a strict policy when it comes to allowing older talents to get in the ring. But stranger things have happened in pro wrestling before.
The mere thought of seeing The Boogeyman and "The Demon" Finn Balor in the same ring on The Showcase of the Immortals would get the people talking.
The 2025 Royal Rumble would be the time and place to sow the seeds for this buzzworthy rivalry, leading to a singles match at WrestleMania 41.
Will Triple H turn this fantasy warfare into a real match next year? Only time will tell.
