This one was a great one to see, even if WWE and Roman Reigns elevating Finn Bálor didn't last very long.

Roman Reigns had shockingly lost the WWE Championship after a 77-day reign at Money in The Bank to Seth Rollins on June 19. It soon became clear as to why when WWE announced just two days later that Roman Reigns was suspended for 30 days for his first violation of WWE's Wellness Policy.

When Roman returned to action, he didn't regain his main event push for a few weeks, and during that time, was used to help elevate WWE's newest main roster star set for the main event, Finn Bálor. The two had a great back and forth match, so good that you would have thought it was on pay-per-view, rather than RAW.

Despite the size difference between them, Bálor kept up with Reigns and even burst out a lot of power moves on the Big Dog. Finn would pin Roman Coup De Grace to advance to the Universal Championship match at WWE SummerSlam.
