Backstage Note on Why WWE Added Stipulation To Demon Finn Balor vs. Dominik Mysterio At WrestleMania 42

Finn Balor returned to his alter-ego “The Demon” for the first time in three years and defeated Dominik Mysterio in a Street Fight at WrestleMania 42: Sunday. Balor defeated the younger Mysterio after hitting him with the Coup de Grâce through a table. The wrestler has not won a match utilizing his Demon persona since 2019, when he defeated Andrade to retain the WWE Intercontinental Title at WWE Super ShowDown that year.

WWE added the Street Fight stipulation to the match during the WrestleMania 42 Kickoff Show on Sunday.

Fightful Select reports that WWE added the stipulation at the last minute because the WrestleMania 42 card featured a high number of singles matches. WWE added the stipulation as a way to break things up a bit and differentiate the match from the other singles bouts on the card.

It remains to be seen what is next for Balor and Mysterio.
