Top 5 possibilities for Kane vs. Braun Strowman vs. Brock Lesnar for the WWE Universal Title
"Its true. its damn true!"
Those were the words uttered by a terrified Kurt Angle after announcing that Brock Lesnar would defend his title against Braun Strowman and Kane in a Triple Threat match at The Royal Rumble. The decision came after Kane and Braun Strowman were both counted out during a brutal number one contenders match, when we saw the two absolutely destroy each other.
With that being said, the booking decision opens the door to a lot of possibilities for the blockbuster match on 28 January and while many fans expect Lesnar to walk out of the pay-per-view with the title, there is still the question of how exactly he accomplishes that. Furthermore, what impact will this match have on WrestleMania 34?
While its impossible to know for sure what will happen when these three Goliaths do battle at the Royal Rumble, here are five possible outcomes for the match. Some may surprise you, but try to keep an open mind and realise that there are a lot of different paths that WWE can take on The Road to WrestleMania 34.
#5 Braun Strowman pins Kane to win The Universal Title
Maybe not an incredibly likely option, especially since the rumored match for WrestleMania 34 is Roman Reigns versus Brock Lesnar, but it would definitely be a great way to shake up the title picture heading into 'The Show of Shows'. It also allows for a triple threat match at WrestleMania 34 between Reigns, Lesnar and Strowman.
Sure, the outcome would probably be the same and Reigns would come out of it all with the Universal title, but think about how much a main event opportunity like that would strengthen Strowman's stock in the company. Finally, it also makes it so Reigns can beat Lesnar, but keep the rivalry between Strowman and Reigns going for the title.
In the end, it would be an interesting shakeup and a great opportunity for Strowman, but only if WWE is willing to do it the right way and not hurt anyone in the process.
