WWE Royal Rumble 2019 Preview and Analysis

#4. Brock Lesnar (c) vs Finn Balor - Universal Championship

The original match for the Universal Championship, as you probably know, was supposed to be Braun Strowman vs Brock Lesnar. However, Vince McMahon stripped Strowman of his title opportunity after The Monster Among Men destroyed his limousine. Oh, and he was fined a $100,000 too!

Finn Balor stepped up to take the opportunity, defeating John Cena, Drew McIntyre, and Baron Corbin to earn the right to face Lesnar. Cena endorsed Balor after the match, telling him that he has another believer.

Vince McMahon has made it very clear that he doesn't believe Balor can defeat Brock Lesnar. However, Finn Balor has the support of the WWE Universe and that's all he needs. Realistically, he's a major underdog in this, and we don't expect him to walk out with the title either. However, we really hope that we're wrong in this case.
