Being familliar with Devitt, my problem was also wasting the paint for a nondescript RAW instead of the PPV at least, if not a return match.

Also, my problem with the "demon" gimmick itself isn't this "confusion with Kane" business (seriously, you people are the reason why two people couldn't have the same fucking name, because we'll get confused with more than one Steve, or Shane, or whatever, because who can contextually tell the difference between AJ Lee and AJ Styles, or Shane McMahon and Shane Helms, amirite?!)

... my issue is more of how generic they have made it- boiling it down to a single look that is a mash-up of some of the best body paint cosplaying he's done (Carnage, Venom, Spawn...) into a single, somewhat marketable look of teeth and streamers. The paint job wasn't just for special occasions, but also was a "what is he gonna cosplay as next?". Kinda like Rey Rey in his various WrestleMania attire over the years.

Simply put, the demon should be special occasion only, and the look should vary when he does it.
