The WWE United States Championship changed hands on the April 18 episode of WWE RAW.
Theory challenged Finn Balor for the gold on Monday night. The young star has pinned the champion multiple times, with his latest televised win coming in a six-man tag bout last week. With the title on the line, the two foes threw everything they had at each other in a hard-fought contest. In the end, Theory countered the Coup de Grâce and hit the A-Town Down for the win. With the victory, he won his first title as a WWE Superstar.
