5 last minute predictions for the Royal Rumble 

#2 Balor wins the Universal Championship

The world has come full circle with the Universal Championship this year. Balor was touted to face then champion Lesnar in last year's Royal Rumble, but was replaced by Kane and Braun Strowman.

Now, Lesnar has again regained his championship and in his first title defense, Finn Balor replaces Strowman to take on the Universal champion.

With reports of Seth Rollins eventually taking the title from Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania coming up, it's highly unlikely that Finn Balor is going to win the title at the Royal Rumble, seeing how protected Lesnar is.

However, if WWE wants to protect Lesnar from taking a clean pin, there's still a chance of Strowman interfering in and costing Lesnar the match.

The build towards this match has already indicated that Strowman is going to be involved in the match in some form or another.

Strowman costing Lesnar the title would also go along with all the build up that both of them had since Crown Jewel.
