Finn Balor lost to Xavier Woods in the final of King of the Ring
The King of the Ring tournament finally came to it’s closure at last night’s WWE Crown Jewel PPV. In a match which saw Finn Balor take on Xavier Woods to be crowned as the name suggests, King of the Ring.
The match, however, resulted in a defeat for Balor and saw Woods become the King of the Ring. Balor did not let this defeat get to his heart and reacted to it on Twitter where he said:
“Not the King But always the PRINCE #BálorClub”
Balor is still upbeat even after loosing to Woods. The match was toe to toe before Woods avoided a Coup de Grace from Balor and instead hit him with limit break elbow to get a pinfall victory.
The Crown Jewel PPV was the second event in a row where the Prince fell just short. Prior to this, Balor lost to Roman Reigns at ExtremeRules in a WWE universal championship match. He will certainly look to bounce back from this defeat as well.
Xavier Woods’ claimed Crown Jewel clash as the most important of his life
On the day of the Crown Jewel PPV, Woods took to Twitter in a heartfelt message and made it known that the King of the Ring final is the most important match of his career so far.
Woods talked about how everyone has criticized him for being a little extra his whole life. The New Day member certainly rose up to the occasion and earned a hard fought victory over Balor to get crowned as the King of the Ring.
