Was there any wrestler who was better than him on the main roster

Finn Balor previously made a name for himself when he wrestled as Prince Devitt(his real name) and was the founder of The Bullet Club.

Finn Balor was inarguably the best wrestler during his time in NXT. He was great on NXT, the longest reigning NXT Champion ever and the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic with Samoa Joe(good friends until he turned on Balor) and even won the NXT Male Competitor of The Year.

In 2016, after losing NXT Championship to Samoa Joe(ending his reign of 294 days), he then made his way to the main roster when he was chosen at #7 by Raw in WWE draft. He looked bright there and even defeated Roman Reigns clean. He went on to become WWE Univeral Champion at SummerSlam 2016 by defeating Seth Rollins. But he got injured in the match and was forced to relinquish his title.

After that, all the things went downhill for him. He hasn't won any title after returning from injury and even hasn't got the rematch for the title he never lost. Currently, he is feuding with Baron Corbin and recently lost to him on Raw.
