Finn Balor had his greatest moment in WWE when he was involved with Seth Rollins. Balor received a massive push when he was pitted against Seth Rollins at Summerslam 2016 with both men looking to become the first Universal Championship.
Both men went to war and the match was end to end and a technical masterclass. Balor eventually won the match and was crowned the inaugural WWE Universal Champion but sadly, a shoulder injury forced Balor to relinquish the title the very next day on RAW. Rollins and Balor had great chemistry and delivered a few more fun matches in the future when both went head to head for the Intercontinental Championship.
Brock Lesnar had to defend his Universal title against Finn Balor in the 2019 Royal Rumble and the two men dished out a great match. Balor was forced to wait for two years to get a shot at the title that he never lost in the first place.

The Irishman would eventually go on to lose against the Beast but it was a great showing as Finn proved he could go toe to toe with the company’s top star.
