#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!
