McIntyre’s former tag team partner Ziggler made his way to the match and attacked McIntyre. This distraction helped Balor to win the bout. However, Balor put on this great fight with his excellent skills.

2. Finn Balor vs Kevin Owens (NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn 2015)

This was the rematch between Owens and Balor after the latter’s first championship win in WWE. This rematch took place at NXT Takeover: Brooklyn. 

They executed some of their best shots, and neither of them was willing to give up, but finally, Balor, in the end, gave a devastating Couple de Grace to Owens off a ladder and got the win.

3. Finn Balor vs AJ Styles

This was undoubtedly a dream match for the fans as Finn Balor vs AJ Styles at TLC 2017, which saw two of the best in the business, take on each other.
