On Sunday night at SummerSlam, Finn Balor won the first ever WWE Universal title by beating Seth Rollins.
During the bout, the Irish wrestler sustained a torn labrum which will keep him out of action for between four and six months.

It means he has been forced to relinquish the title. He did so on Monday Night Raw.
Due to his injury, @StephMcMahon and I jointly accept @FinnBalor relinquishing of the @WWE Universal Championship. #Raw

Balor, real name Fergal Devitt - a Bray man - is hugely popular with fans. That was evident last night as he announced he was vacating the belt.
Here's the moment during that match with Seth Rollins where he injured his shoulder.
