Finn Balor had waited seven years to avenge himself against Seth Rollins. Ever since Seth Rollins became the World Heavyweight Champion, he has been on the receiving end of continuous beatdowns at the hands of Finn Balor. Although Rollins beat Balor at Money in the Bank, the latter did not stop victimizing ‘The Visionary’, forcing him to grant Balor a rematch. 

Finally, at SummerSlam, Balor shed blood, sweat, and tears in an effort to redeem himself. At one point, though, Balor got caught with a nasty blow, getting busted open in the mouth.
