WWE Royal Rumble 2019: 7 Moments That Stood Out

#6 Brock Lesnar destroys Balor

The post-match confrontation was more shocking than anything else.

The match between Brock Lesnar and Finn Balor was never going to be a back and forth encounter, as WWE would never book a match between Lesnar and Balor as a competitive match?

Well think again, as WWE actually gave Balor enough chances in this match to take Lesnar to the limit, and we got a really good match, that saw Balor miss by an inch to win the Universal Title.

Lesnar tried everything in his arsenal to beat Balor, but nothing worked until the last moment when Lesnar pulled out his devasting submission hold to make Balor tap out.

And after winning, Lesnar decided to destroy Balor some more, which is something he never did before since he became Universal Champion, Lesnar is a prizefighter he doesn't make things personal, and that is his kayfabe key to success, as winning is all that matters.

That is why when Lesnar decided to make things personal it meant his ego is hurt, that a man smaller than him could actually take his Universal Title.

This was a shocking piece of booking as WWE gave Balor more credibility here than a title win could ever, and for those who are angry with Lesnar winning, rewatch this match and the post-match beatdown, analyze it and rethink what WWE did here, cause it was just genius.
