4 people who defeated Finn Balor clean in WWE

#4 Kane

Out of Balor’s four clean losses in WWE, this one made the least sense. At TLC 2017, the man from County Wicklow, Ireland defeated AJ Styles in a fantasy match-up that many fans had been waiting years to see.

It was undoubtedly Finn’s best match since returning from injury and it looked to be a milestone moment that would help him move away from the stale Bray Wyatt storyline and propel him into a future Universal Championship feud with Brock Lesnar.

However, the following night on Raw, for a reason that wasn’t and still hasn’t been explained, Balor decided to answer an open challenge set by Kane, whose path of destruction at TLC resulted in Braun Strowman being thrown in a dumpster truck.

Finn didn’t put up much of a fight against “The Big Red Machine” and, after just seven minutes, he was pinned for the 1-2-3 following three consecutive Chokeslams. The manner of the defeat left the WWE Universe -- and the WWE locker room -- scratching their heads.
