At the beginning of the match, both Raw superstars showcased their best techniques. Rollins almost secured the victory with a 'pedigree,' but the 'Demon' reacted just in time, and the count remained at two.
In the end, Finn Balor emerged as the winner thanks to his signature move: the 'coup de grace.' After jumping from the top rope, the former NXT champion landed his soles on Rollins' chest, leaving him nearly unconscious.
This devastating impact prevented Seth Rollins from getting back up, resulting in the three-count. Thus, Finn Balor became the first-ever Universal Champion in WWE history.
