Loser: Braun Strowman

I don't even know what to call this. It was pure filler and again an advertisement of how far Braun Strowman has fallen since last year. In a show of filler, this felt like even worse filler than normal.

Can Braun Strowman hope to recover from this? If the Universal title returns to Raw after WrestleMania 35, perhaps there's some hope for him.


Winner: Finn Balor

It was likely that Finn Balor would bring out the Demon for WrestleMania, but this announcement just spoils what could have been a nice surprise.

Regardless, it seems unlikely that Lashley would defeat the Demon, meaning Balor is likely to secure his second Intercontinental Championship. But that raises the question of why it was necessary to take the title off of him to begin with. Why the hot shotting between Balor and Lashley?

It's nice for Balor, but it's made this feud feel like an afterthought.
