WWE crowned Finn Balor as their first ever Universal Champion, but he had to relinquish the title because of an unfortunate injury. Finn made his return after nearly 8 months, and was expected to return to the Universal Championship picture immediately, however he never got his rematch, and got lost in the mid-card.
He participated in several meaningless feuds against the likes of Elias, Bray Wyatt, and Baron Corbin, which did no good to any of the superstars. This also decreased the credibility of Finn Balor's character on WWE TV.
However, now he has redeemed himself, and is back in the Universal Championship feud. If he wins the title, he will become the face of RAW, but if he loses he may get demoted once again, something the WWE does not want, given the rise of All Elite Wrestling.
