5 reasons why Braun Strowman returned to the ring before WWE Royal Rumble 2019

#2 To indicate that Strowman is still in the Universal title picture

In kayfabe, Braun Strowman has a very strong claim to the Universal Championship. He got screwed over in November at Crown Jewel thanks to Baron Corbin, and he then went on to earn a #1 contenders match after "beating" Corbin at TLC.

With Braun Strowman wrestling and making his presence known, it seems clear that Strowman will still be in the Universal Championship picture, and WWE wants to remind us that.

#1 A Balor-Strowman feud down the line

This one is a no-brainer. With no actual conclusion to their match, it seemed like Balor was on the verge of picking up a shocking upset. This leaves the door open to a Balor-Strowman feud down the line. It's going to be interesting to see how it pans out.

Naturally, it works better if Strowman were the heel and Balor the underdog, but a face vs face feud could work too!
