Finn Balor Wins WWE United States Championship

Finn Balor is the new United States Champion now.

After handily defeating Shelton Benjamin on Raw, United States Champion Damian Priest was in the mood to issue another open challenge. Promising to defend his title this Monday on Raw, the champion invited anyone in the locker room to step up.



That call was answered by Finn Bálor, who was fresh off his return to action in a tag team victory alongside Tommaso Ciampa earlier in the night. Bálor gladly accepted the challenge and battled tonight on WWE Raw.

At the end of the match, Priest set for Reckoning but Balor landed an elevated DDT followed by a dropkick into the turnbuckles. Balor finally got to win the gold after performing Coup de Grace for the three counts.

Bálor was the inaugural WWE Universal Champion. He is also a two-time NXT Champion and a two-time WWE Intercontinental Champion.
