The mysterious Irishman battles The Eater of Worlds for the first time ever.

Finn Bálor and Bray Wyatt couldn’t wait until Sunday to turn their psychological warfare physical, but a few extra days’ preparation might have been better for the inaugural Universal Champion, as Wyatt defeated his adversary in a heated match stemming from a backstage brawl that occurred earlier in the show.

Much to the shock of the Bálor Club, The Reaper of Souls was firmly in control for most of the match, brutalizing his foe with suffocating chinlocks and a reverse backbreaker-type maneuver that sucked the wind from Finn’s sails. Bálor briefly revved back to life, but The Eater of Worlds tripped Bálor up in the ropes pre-Coup de Grâce and hauled him off the turnbuckle straight into Sister Abigail for the win.

With the battle won, Wyatt administered a second Sister Abigail and briefly vanished, reappearing only to empty a decrepit bucket filled with a viscous, acidic red fluid over Bálor's head, leaving the Irishman squirming in horror. He wasn't done yet, however: A recovering Bálor successfully petitioned Kurt Angle for a rematch on Sunday, leaving Raw with an ominous vow to reveal his "demons" to The Reaper of Souls.
