The Irish superstar became the inaugural Universal champion by defeating Seth Rollins at SummerSlam in August 2016, but was forced to vacate the title the following night on Monday Night Raw due to a torn labrum that required surgery.
Bálor missed nearly eight months of action before returning on the Raw after WrestleMania in April. He has since spent the majority of his current run in mid-card feuds, having only challenged for the No. 1 contendership of the Universal Championship in a Fatal 5-way match at Extreme Rules.
