Since the setback, the Irish star has been consistently working toward his goal of capturing his second world title in WWE. Unfortunately for Balor, he has been unsuccessful thus far. Earlier this year, he challenged for the World Heavyweight Championship twice, but couldn’t emerge victorious.

On the latest episode of WWE SmackDown, Balor competed in a Fatal Four-Way Match against Trick Williams, Royce Keys, and Damian Priest. The bout was held to determine Sami Zayn’s opponent at SummerSlam. The Prince won the contest and will now aim to take down Zayn and become the number one contender for the Undisputed WWE Championship.

After his huge win, Balor took to X to send a message to his supporters. He reflected on the past decade of his career and thanked his fans for supporting him through thick and thin. The Prince also posted pictures from his match on WWE SmackDown.

“The last 10 years have been the adventure of a lifetime. Bálor Club, thank you for always sticking with me. I hear you, and WE ARE SO CLOSE #summerslam #LetsGoBalor,” Balor wrote.

If Balor defeats Zayn at The Biggest Party of the Summer, he will earn a shot at the Undisputed WWE Championship. CM Punk currently holds the coveted title, and he will defend it against Cody Rhodes in Minneapolis next month.

Huge Title Match Was Teased After WWE SmackDown

Trick Williams has seemed unstoppable since joining the main roster. He currently holds the United States Championship. Williams was one of the favorites to win the Fatal Four-Way Match on WWE SmackDown. However, Balor proved to be the better man last night.

Williams failed to punch his ticket to the Undisputed WWE Championship number one contender’s match at SummerSlam. However, he could still compete in a high-stakes bout at The Biggest Party of the Summer.

Baron Corbin has set his sights on the United States Championship since returning to WWE. After the four-way match, he launched an attack on Trick Williams. As a result, Williams challenged him to a title bout in Minneapolis. Corbin and Williams will likely collide for the United States Title at SummerSlam.
