#3 Finn Balor
Finn Balor is one of the most popular WWE Superstars today and was the first-ever Universal Champion. He wrestled for several major and independent promotions before signing a contract with WWE in 2014. When he kicked off his career way back in the early 2000s, Balor used his real-life name, Fergal Devitt.
When he came to New Japan Pro Wrestling, Balor was given the moniker of Prince Devitt. He soon donned a mask and began wrestling as the second Pegasus Kid. This resulted in comparisons between him and Chris Benoit, who was the original Pegasus Kid.

When he joined WWE NXT in 2014, Devitt was named Finn Balor. He quickly rose up the ranks in NXT and won the NXT title on one occasion. Balor made his move to the main roster in 2016 and was immediately pushed to the main event scene. He competed against Seth Rollins at SummerSlam 2016 and won the match to become the first-ever Universal Champion.
Unfortunately, due to an injury that he suffered during the bout, Balor was forced to relinquish the belt on the very next night.
