Meet Finn Bálor: Athletic, charismatic, occasionally demonic, and a bona fide worldwide sensation.
The WWE Universe may know Bálor for being the first-ever Universal Champion, but the mysterious Irishman’s legend spanned across countries and continents long before he ever stepped onto the WWE stage. After competing in his first match at 18 and achieving success in his homeland, Bálor relocated to Japan to hone his skills in the notorious dojo system of the Far East. Unsurprisingly, he thrived, winning multiple championships and leading several foot soldiers to support him. He soon relocated to America to ply his trade in NXT, where he achieved a record-setting run with the NXT Championship, among other accolades.
The combination of his quiet, accurate precision and his periodic transformation into the terrifying "Demon" made Bálor one of the hottest WWE commodities in more than a decade, so it came as little surprise when he was the first NXT graduate to be taken in the 2016 WWE Brand Extension Draft, going fifth overall to Raw.
Soon after that, Bálor reached his greatest achievement to date when he pinned Seth Rollins at SummerSlam 2016 to become the first-ever Universal Champion. He even took Brock Lesnar to the limit in a thrilling Universal Title Match at Royal Rumble 2019.
In 2019, he returned to WWE NXT on the first two-hour live episode on USA. Seemingly out of nowhere, Finn viciously attacked Johnny Gargano, dropping him head-first onto the steel ramp with a thunderous 1916 and continuing to target Johnny Wrestling in the weeks and months that followed.
Then, The Prince once again conquered the black-and-gold brand, edging Adam Cole in an epic bout for the vacant NXT Title.
After heading to Raw via the 2021 WWE Draft, The Prince briefly won the United States Championship, before teaming with AJ Styles and Liv Morgan to take on The Judgment Day at Hell in a Cell. Bálor would shock the WWE Universe the next night on Raw, becoming the newest member of The Judgment Day before turning on the founder, Edge, with members Damian Priest and Rhea Ripley.
During his time within The Judgment Day, The Prince has enjoyed three World Tag Team Title reigns, two with Damian Priest and one with JD McDonagh, a fellow Irish Superstar that Bálor recruited for the devious group.
With tension brewing, Bálor shocked the world at SummerSlam Cleveland as he turned on his friend Damian Priest, allowing Gunther to defeat him for the World Heavyweight Title. With a new Judgment Day formed with "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio, Liv Morgan, JD McDonagh and Carlito by his side, this new look Judgment Day is ready to run roughshod on Raw.
