This week's episode of Monday Night RAW was historic in that it successfully kicked off WWE's New Era. We witnessed a new format, a new champion, and of course, the debut of a new Superstar, The Demon, Finn Bálor.

The former NXT champion finally made his official main roster debut in epic fashion, defeating some of RAW's top competitors all in one night, earning his shot to face Seth Rollins at SummerSlam with the brand-new WWE universal championship on the line!

But it wasn't easy. Bálor started the night by pulling off a miraculous win over three other Superstars in a Fatal 4-Way Match before earning his spot in the night's main event. Part I of this II-Part post highlights Finn's first-ever match in the WWE but, more importantly, his first win.

And, as always, this will be presented in precious GIF form.

You're welcome!

- I was pleasantly surprised that Finn was actually there for the first night of the New Era's RAW. But not as surprised as Seth Rollins, apparently...

- Bálor's entrance was as epic as ever, and it certainly gained the Bálor Club quite a few new members on this night - worldwide...

- It was one hell of a moment, especially for that little dude with the Bálor Club shirt...

- And sure, it was obvious that not everyone knew who he was...

- But there were more than enough who knew exactly who he was...

- Naturally, Finn was all but compelled to 'Too Sweet' the crowd, even if only for the slightest second (foreshadowing!)...

- The crowd in attendance seemed to be intrigued enough, but the same couldn't be said for his opponents...

- Finn takes little time to make an impact in the match, establishing himself as a true force to be considered...

- Maybe even an unlikely favorite...

- With offense like this, it wouldn't take long for Finn to become a casual fan favorite...

- Hell, I thought it could've been over right here...

- But I definitely thought it was over after this - thank you Swiss Superman...

- It almost seemed like Owens' Pop-Up Powerbomb was enough to take Finn out for good, but somehow, he came back - with a vengeance...

- And just like that, Bálor crushes Rusev with the Coupe De Grace in a miraculous finish that would set the tone for the rest of the night...

- Let's see that in instant replay and watch how close Owens and Cesaro came to saving the match...

- You could almost feel the paradigm shift as Finn Bálor moved on to the main event, one step closer to headlining SummerSlam against Seth Rollins...

In Part II, we'll relive how Finn Bálor managed to defeat The Guy, Roman Reigns in the main event, cementing his spot in RAW's SummerSlam main event to compete for the new WWE Universal Championship!
