5 Reasons why Finn Balor is facing Brock Lesnar at The Royal Rumble

#4 The Demon King is a credible contender for the Universal Championship

What a great match this could potentially be!

Vince McMahon publicly claimed that Finn Balor does not size up to the other beefy WWE superstars who competed in the main event of RAW. And yes, it may be tough for the WWE Universe to believe that Balor stands a real chance. But if he unleashes the Demon King avatar, he certainly does have a real opportunity.

The Demon King is one of the most protected personas in WWE. Finn Balor has only lost once when he's donned the bodypaint, during his time in NXT. The Demon King, which last made an appearance at SummerSlam, is undefeated on the main roster.

I really wonder if The Demon King can potentially dethrone Brock Lesnar when the two men collide in the ring? I have a feeling that while this won't be the case, the match will be good.
