Finn Balor is one of the only Superstars to receive a main-event treatment from WWE right after joining the main roster. In 2016, Balor was one of the hottest things in pro-wrestling. He pinned Roman Reigns and earned himself a Universal Championship match against Seth Rollins and ended up becoming the inaugural champion of the company.

However, only a few fans noticed that Balor was actually hurt during the match. When Rollins powerbombed the current NXT Superstar, he landed on the barricade and dislocated his shoulder in the process. The frames went through the television screen so quickly that fans didn’t even notice that. What’s interesting is that Balor popped his shoulder back into the socket and went on to finish the match as planned. Unfortunately, he had to relinquish the belt a night later on RAW and hasn't won it since.

A few months ago, Balor rejoined NXT and fans couldn’t be happier with this decision. He works as a main-event talent and also has a lot of flexibility in his schedule.
