Kevin Owens says he doesn't want to mess with Finn Balor while he's wearing a purple bandana.
During the September 14 episode of WWE's The Bump, Owens, alongside Gargano, discussed the way The Judgment Day attacked Edge this past week on WWE Raw. The former Universal Champion noted that the pruple bandana Balor was wearing made him more dominant and vicious than ever before. He and Gargano compared the look to Michael Scott's "Prison Mike" look.
Kevin Owens: I think what we just saw from Monday was a whole new level of dominance. Also, I think what spurred it on was, Finn has this bandana when he came to the ring, the purple banana. Took him to a whole new level, and I think the viciousness.
Johnny Gargano: Like a Prison Mike kind of scenario.
Owens: Yeah, very Michael Scott. But man, clearly when Finn’s got that bandana on, you don’t want any part of him.
Gargano then wondered whether Owens would rather face "Demon" Balor or Bandana Balor in an alley.
Gargano: Wait a minute, okay, this is an interesting debate here now. Do you think Finn is more powerful as ‘The Demon’ or as ‘Bandana Finn’? More vicious with the bandana, scarier as the demon. Which one do you not wanna cross paths with? Like you’re walking down the street, dark alley, middle of the night, you see ‘The Demon’ or you see Finn with a bandana. Who do you [feel] like, ‘I don’t wanna deal with this?'
Owens: I think I’d take my chances with ‘The Demon.’ If the paint comes off, he’s still ‘The Demon.’ It’s not reliant on the paint. But the bandana just takes him to a whole other level. Look at what they did.
Gargano: I’ve never seen something like that before in my life.
For reference, Gargano and Owens were referring to "Prison Mike" from "The Office".
