#5 Strowman vs Lesnar is overdone
Let's be honest here.
Braun Strowman and Brock Lesnar have faced off several times over the last year or so and there really doesn't seem like there is much left there to even explore.
Beyond that, The WWE Universe seems to be getting tired of the overdone matchup and want something new to enjoy in The Universal title picture.
Fortunately for The WWE Universe, Finn Balor pinned John Cena to win a Fatal four-way match and will now be going on to face Brock Lesnar at The Royal Rumble!
If nothing else, Balor is a much better choice for The Beast to face and will definitely get a lot more eyeballs watching due to WWE finally pulling the trigger on a dream match.
