ONE of the biggest dates on the WWE calendar went off with a bang in New York—and the Irish were well-represented.
Wicklow wrestler Finn Bálor beat Raw rival Seth Rollins to become Summerslam’s inaugural Universal Champion, but he wasn’t the only Irishman in attendance at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
