Balor was the inaugural WWE Universal Champion when he beat Seth Rollins in the tournament’s finals; however, Balor had to relinquish his title the very next night because of the injuries he sustained.

WWE has advertised Finn Balor as the man who is 1.80 meters or 5′ 11″, however, is he really a 5’11” guy? Let’s find out.

How tall is Finn Balor?

Ever since Balor joined WWE, the company has been portraying him as a 5′ 11″ guy and even the ring announcer calls out his height as 5′ 11″. However, this is Balor’s “billed height” and not his “actual height”.

Finn Balor’s actual height is 1.78 meters or 5′ 10″ Feet and Inches and not 5′ 11″. This subtle difference is made by WWE who called it “billed height” to make their wrestlers look bigger.

The difference between “billed height” and “actual height”

Whenever the ring announcer announces the wrestler’s name on their entrance, they mention the wrestler’s height and weight. However, they use a term called “billed” which differs from the actual height of the wrestler.

Billed height is their Height after wearing boots which give the wrestlers a few inches off the ground thus making them look bigger, slight but yes it helps.

The WWE does that to make their wrestlers look like ‘larger than life’ figures for the WWE Universe. They even use different camera angles and add fake pounds to make them look more dangerous.
