5 greatest matches of Finn Balor in WWE

#3 Finn Balor vs Brock Lesnar (Royal Rumble 2019)

Finn Balor and Brock Lesnar at Royal Rumble 2019

Considering Brock Lesnar has had tremendous matches with Daniel Bryan and AJ Styles, guys much smaller in size than him, the expectation for this contest with Finn Balor at Royal Rumble 2019 was off the charts. While the match itself was not as long as the match with Bryan, it was a fast-paced one with relentless action and zero room for either wrestler to take a breath. Unlike usual Lesnar matches, this one started with Finn Balor dominating and connecting several dropkicks that weakened the former's rib.

The match soon became a back and forth contest in which both Superstars got their fair share of moments. While Balor got to show his superb agility and speed in the ring, Lesnar was in his usual beast mode by unleashing a flurry of German Suplexes once he got going.

Another reason why this match stands apart is that this was one of Balor's most high-profile matches in a long time, and he performed as if he was never away from the main event spot. The ending of the match was also unlike a usual Lesnar finish as he locked Balor in a Kimura lock, thus giving birth to an iconic moment.
