4 reasons why Finn Balor will win the Universal Championship at the Royal Rumble PPV
This Sunday at the Royal Rumble PPV, WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar will put his title on the line against Finn Balor in what is expected to be the Beast's last match inside a WWE ring.
Finn Balor vs Brock Lesnar is a dream match for many members of the WWE Universe. The McMahons had promised the WWE Universe that the product will be run by the fans now, and this seems to be the first step in that process.
Braun Strowman was earlier scheduled to face Brock Lesnar for the title. However, the fans showed no interest in that feud, so the Monster was replaced by Finn Balor. The Leader of the Balor Club earned this opportunity by defeating John Cena, Drew McIntyre, and Baron Corbin in a fatal-4 way match on RAW.
A lot of fans expect Brock Lesnar to retain the title, but I feel Finn Balor will become the 2nd 2-time Universal Champion in WWE history this Sunday, and here are 4 reasons which support my prediction.
#4 Finn Balor was booked poorly on RAW
If you have been watching WWE for a while, you might have observed that the superstar who stands tall on the go-home show to a pay-per-view always fails to win his match on the PPV. This has been WWE's formula of booking feuds for PPVs, and there has been zero change to it over the years.
On the RAW episode before the Royal Rumble, we saw Brock Lesnar demolish his challenger brutally. So if we use the WWE logic here, Finn Balor will stand tall with the Universal Championship in Chase Field at the Royal Rumble PPV.
