In the summer of 2016, Finn Balor emerged as one of the biggest stars in WWE. "The Extraordinary Man Who Can Do Extraordinary Things" was one of the top picks of the WWE Draft as the fifth Superstar selected. After moving to RAW, Finn Balor immediately made his mark when he defeated Kevin Owens, Rusev, and Cesaro in a fatal four-way match to earn a chance to become the inaugural WWE Universal Champion.

Balor faced off against Seth Rollins at SummerSlam 2016, with his parents watching at ringside. Finn Balor wrestled Rollins as The Demon King and used the Coup de Grace to become the first WWE Universal Champion.

However, Balor suffered from a shoulder injury during the match. Sadly, Finn Balor had to relinquish the title because he had to undergo surgery. Following this announcement, a fatal four-way was set for the Aug. 29 episode of RAW where Balor's old NXT rival, Kevin Owens, won the title.
