Best and worst of WWE Royal Rumble 2019

#4 Best/worst: The Universal Championship match

This match was certainly both good and bad!

I don't know why Finn Balor would deck up as The Demon King to take on Baron Corbin but not for the biggest match of his career. I don't know why he would tap into his dark side to take on Styles in an exhibition match, but not against the monstrous Brock Lesnar. We all knew the result of Lesnar vs. Balor before the match even got underway.

But I loved the way this match played out, however. Just how good is Balor as an in-ring performer! Also, how good is Lesnar at selling his injuries and the offence Balor inflicted upon him, during the match!

I had a blast watching the Royal Rumble and I'm guessing so did you. I just wish it was shorter because that certainly watered my experience down.

I'm glad that The Goddess is back in action, however!
