Ranking Every First Current WWE Champion From Worst To Best
9. Universal Champion - Finn Bálor
Finn Bálor may have marked his cards with Vince McMahon when an injury sustained in the his title-winning scrap with Seth Rollins triggered a surrender of the Universal Championship just 24 hours after winning it at SummerSlam.
At least that's what the booking appeared to suggest when he returned several months later. Bálor - as his incredible 'Demon' or otherwise - never truly felt at that level again, but the timeline in which he doesn't go down hurt is a fascinating gamble from a period where the company genuinely seemed keen to take them.
