Finn Bálor shocks WWE fans into a Kanye West comparison

Finn Bálor is a renowned name in the world of wrestling. While Balor has gone through several changes since joining Judgement Day, fans were in shock with his latest masked appearance on Extreme Rules for his fight against Edge. He was not accompanied by Judgement Day for his match, but fans noticed the different masks the wrestler was wearing. For the match, Bálor stepped out in a black mask covering his entire face, similar to what Kanye West wears during most of his public appearances.

Although it has a simple black design, the Donda Mask is an iconic and eye-catching piece. Balor’s mask shared so much resemblance to Kanye’s Donda Mask that fans could not help but compare the two. Apart from the unusual mask on him, Balor also had a darker theme for his entrance, as well. 

The video of Bálor in a black mask took the internet by storm, as fans called it one of the sickest and coolest entrances by a wrestler. Some claimed that the wrestler is dressed like the Yeezus Era Kanye. However, a few others made fun of the wrestler, claiming that the Young Irish Gun was going through an identity crisis.
