Braun Strowman (c) vs Brock Lesnar

Ad

Strowman can't lose the title here having only just won it and Lesnar would lose too much legitimacy from taking a seocnd clean loss to Strowman so controversy is the way to go for this match.

Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.

This could be facilitated by making it a No-DQ match or simply having the two giants bundle over the referee at some point in the action. McIntyre, who has a history with Strowman and can have made his title aspirations clear in the weeks preceding, can appear as Strowman looks close to seizing victory.

He can deliver a Claymore to the monster among men and return to the back leaving a smug looking Lesnar left to pick up the pieces. However, with Lesnar about to deliver an F5, Ziggler can once again attack Lesnar from behind, this time with a chair, and flatten the Beast Incarnate, allowing Strowman to pick up the pinfall and the victory, retaining his title.

While this isn't the cleanest booking, it protects both men and does plenty to set up future matches. McIntyre announces himself as a big time player, who won't take no for an answer when it comes to the Universal title and Ziggler can once again seem like a pesky thorn in Lesnar's side, desperate to make himself into a bigger star by thwarting the industry's biggest.

Lesnar and Ziggler can go on to have their own match at WrestleMania, one that has plenty of star power, does lots to build Ziggler and doesn't need the title that can be used elsewhere.

Result: Strowman defeats Lesnar, retains Universal Championship
