Let's try
Let's try and get Finn Balor over...

The Rumour:

Finn Balor was said to be on the top of the list to face Brock Lesnar at The Royal Rumble for the Universal Championship. But that was until Vince McMahon apparently decided Balor wasn't over enough so he started burying him on Raw. This resulted in quite a social media backlash but McMahon still might have other plans. Dave Meltzer said things are still unclear in regards to what WWE will be doing during their huge January event. Lesnar might be still working the show. But at this point, he could very well be participating in a non-title match. Lesnar's next scheduled appearance is on December 18th, so fans will probably know soon enough which direction WWE will be going in regards to the Universal Title picture.

The Potential:

If Brock Lesnar is going to still wrestle at The Royal Rumble but it will be a non-title match this lends a lot of speculation to the idea fans could be seeing AJ Styles vs Brock Lesnar part two way before they ever thought. After all, Paul Heyman praised Styles in amazing fashion after their Survivor Series contest and it certainly wouldn't be the worst way to go about handing another Lesnar appearance on the Road To WrestleMania where all signs point to a match against Roman Reigns.

The Fallout:

Finn Balor losing this opportunity might not be the best thing for him but it could certainly give fans another thing to be passionate about. Therefore, if you're upset about the first-ever Universal Champion who never really lost his title in the first place being snubbed out of a title shot then you can always let WWE know. The best way to let WWE know how much you care is through your wallets so buy all the Balor merch you can, post on social media, and make everything he does on social media seem extraordinarily important. If fans get their way another hijacking of Raw could be in the cards only it will be on The Balor Club's behalf this time instead of Daniel Bryan's Yes Movement.
