Finn Balor was drafted to Raw in the first round of the WWE Draft last month, and he’s been making waves on the show ever since he debuted.
Stephanie McMahon and Mick Foley announced a few weeks ago that a new belt called the WWE Universal Championship would debut at SummerSlam. They also announced that Seth Rollins would be one of the competitors fighting for the title at the event.
Finn Balor later won a fatal 4-way match and then defeated Roman Reigns to earn the right to challenge for the belt at SummerSlam.
Both men wasted no time getting down to business after the bell rang, and they both fought hard in their attempt to win the title.
In the end Finn Balor got the win when he pinned Finn Balor clean after hitting the Coup de Grace.
