5 believable ways in which Finn Balor could defeat Brock Lesnar
In the latest episode of RAW, Vince McMahon scrapped Braun Strowman's Universal title match against Brock Lesnar and scheduled a fatal 4-way match to crown the new challenger. To most people's surprise, Finn Balor overcame all the odds and defeated John Cena, Drew McIntyre, and Baron Corbin to advance to the Royal Rumble as the number one contender to the Universal title.
However, one thing WWE has taught us regularly in the past is that Vince McMahon prefers bigger guys to smaller wrestlers. In such a situation, the lopsided physique of Balor and Lesnar might be a huge problem. Even though we are happy for Balor's opportunity, not many of us give Balor a fair chance to reclaim the title he never lost.
Since Lesnar works well with smaller guys, there is no doubt about the quality of the match these two can put together. But RAW would be objectively better off with Finn Balor as the champion.
Hence, in this article, we will be taking a look at five plausible scenarios in which Finn Balor can beat Brock Lesnar and become the new Universal Champion.
#1. A repeat of 2004
As mentioned earlier, Vince McMahon loves bigger men. But that does not mean bigger men always win in a battle against the smaller athletes. Brock Lesnar knows this first hand because he lost his WWE Championship to Eddie Guerrero in such a fashion. At No Way Out 2004, Goldberg lent a hand to the Latino Heat, who clinched his first world title in WWE.
Similarly, WWE could stage Brock Lesnar's eventual Wrestlemania opponent to cost him the title. Braun Strowman, The Rock, or anyone else could stir a feud with Lesnar by costing him the title. The scenario is identical to the one that happened fifteen years ago.
