8 Wrestlers WWE Regret Making World Champion

Upon debuting on the main roster in July 2016, Finn Bálor made an instant impact by beating Seth Rollins to become the inaugural WWE Universal Champion at that year's SummerSlam - which took place merely a month after Bálor was drafted to Raw.

Sadly, that same SummerSlam bout saw Finn sidelined with a shoulder injury which rendered him out of action for seven months. Forced to vacate the Universal Championship, Bálor's chance to run with the ball as the face of the Raw brand was cruelly taken away from.

After Finn returned from that unfortunately-timed injury, it took months for the Irishman to even acknowledge that he'd never actually been beaten for the title and that he'd yet to receive a rematch for the gold. To be blunt, WWE creative conveniently kept Bálor away from his rightful Universal Championship rematch until the night after SummerSlam 2018 - two years since he had to give up the the belt.

Since then, various reports have surfaced online to suggest that Vince McMahon has rarely had faith in Finn, that he doesn't think he's ever been 'over', and that the former NXT Champion is too small.

The consensus is that McMahon wasn't particular behind Bálor in the first place, and his place on the card has proven that time and time again.
