Finn Balor will finally get his shot at the Universal Champion Brock Lesnar when the two face off at the Royal Rumble.

Whilst the situation may have been very convoluted, the truth is that Balor needed a high-profile match to remain relevant in the eyes of the WWE Universe.

Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.

Just last week, Balor appeared at NXT UK TakeOver: Blackpool, and it was clear to see how fans once saw him in NXT, and how they have seen him now on RAW.

Whilst I don't expect the Demon to topple the Beast Incarnate, especially so close to WrestleMania, a match between Balor and Lesnar is still nothing short of a dream match to many fans.

Expect these two to have an epic war at the Royal Rumble, though at a certain someone's expense...
