*Commercial Break*
Charly Caruso interviews Lashley and Rush inside the ring and she asks if Lashley is concerned about facing Balor after Finn got the better of him last week. Rush says they are not because Finn only got the upper hand last week because Jinder Mahal was there. That won’t be the case at WrestleMania. Caruso then asks if Bobby is worried that The Demon might show-up. Lashley laughs and says he isn’t scared of some Irish fairytale. He knows Finn Balor is The Demon and The Demon is Finn Balor.
Balor then appears on the Titantron and says if he were Lashley he might be more concerned. Because demons are real and his demons are going to be with him at WrestleMania. A fog then covers the screen and when it dissipates we see The Demon and he sticks his tongue out in an awkward staredown with Lashley and Rush.
