Finn Balor's first defense of the United States Championship will happen at Madison Square Garden.
On February 28, Balor defeated Damian Priest on Raw to win the United States Championship for the first time in his career. This was also the first title victory for Balor on the main roster since capturing the Intercontinental Championship three years ago.
After the match, Finn was attacked by Priest, who ended his nasty assault by sending Balor crashing through a table courtesy of the Razor's Edge. Priest then showed the "Too Sweet" hand gesture, another homage to Scott Hall.
Madison Square Garden has announced on Twitter that Balor and Priest will battle for the title once more this Saturday, March 5, at the WWE Live Road to WrestleMania event.
