WWE Crowns New United States Champion On Raw! New Challenger Stepped Up Tonight!
We’re a bit late on this one, but a few weeks ago the WWE United States Championship changed hands on Raw per WWE’s report.
Theory def. Finn Bálor – United States Title Match
Theory had targeted Finn Bálor for weeks, but the champion had managed to stay one step ahead and keep the gold in his hands. The Prince seemed to be riding that same momentum with a missile dropkick right to the jaw of the challenger but couldn’t convert on his Coup de Grace attempt. After targeting the neck of Bálor earlier in the match, a crushing A Town Down clinched a championship breakthrough from Theory. A collection of Raw’s most reviled Superstars would celebrate Theory’s win, but the entrance of Mr. McMahon himself made the selfie coronation complete.
On this week’s Raw, Cody Rhodes took on Theory for the United States Championship.
