The Universal Championship was on the line in the main event of Extreme Rules. Roman Reigns and 'The Demon' Finn Balor squared off in an amazing Extreme Rules match.

The match had great pacing and huge pops from the crowd. Reigns and Balor used kendo sticks, tables as well as chairs to fight each other. Balor hit Reigns with a Coup de Grace and was about to pin him. That's when Reigns' cousins, The Usos, got involved and helped their Tribal Chief.

Towards the end, the lights went red and The Demon's heartbeat thrilled the arena. The Demon was resurrected and attacked Roman Reigns with a steel chair, and put him through a table. Balor went for the Coup de Grace for the second time. However, the top turnbuckle broke out of its socket and he fell on the canvas. Reigns capitalized and pinned Balor for the three-count.

Although The Demon was once defeated in NXT, this was his first-ever loss on the main roster. It can't be called a clean loss, as the ring malfunctioned and The Usos interfered during the contest. It's currently unclear what's next for Finn Balor. Roman Reigns is set to defend his title against Brock Lesnar at Crown Jewel 2021.
