5 reasons why Finn Balor vs Brock Lesnar is best for business
The Royal Rumble is on our heads and we can’t wait for the show scheduled to take place in Phoenix, Arizona on 27 January 2019. It is fair to say that the Royal Rumble is one of the most anticipated PPV of the year.
The card is stacked up with interesting matches starting from Daniel Bryan's WWE Championship bout against AJ Styles to the men's Royal Rumble and women's Royal Rumble.
It is fair to say the WWE is offering a lot on the table in order to make the event a success and the line-up of matches has got the world talking. With that said, there is one match which has been the topic of discussion amongst the wrestling fans worldwide for the last week and that match is Brock Lesnar's Universal Championship bout against Finn Balor. Finn defeated Baron Corbin, Drew Mcintyre and John Cena in a Fatal 4-way match on Raw to become the number one contender for Brock's Universal Championship.
Finn replaced Braun Strowman as the monster among men was shockingly taken out of the Universal Championship match at Royal Rumble by Vince McMahon as a punishment for breaking the chairman's Limousine. The last show which aired before Royal Rumble didn't disappoint at all as we got to see the awaited confrontation between Brock and Finn.
What makes this encounter interesting is the involvement of the chairman of the company, Vince McMahon who clearly doesn't believe in Finn Balor. Apart from these 3, there was one more man who was heavily involved in this discussion and that man was Braun Strowman. The monster among men was fined a hefty 100,000 dollars for breaking Vince's car and was even stripped of his opportunity to face Lesnar at Royal Rumble.
Here we list down 5 reasons why WWE's decision to pit Finn Balor against Brock Lesnar is best for business:
#1 Protects Braun's Image
It is no secret that Brock Lesnar will be competing at Wrestlemania and will most probably be defending the Universal title at the grandest stage of them all. For that, the beast had to defeat the monster among men at Royal Rumble.
Braun has had a great push so far and another defeat at the hands of the beast would’ve hammered his reputation as a main eventer. The WWE fans went in real dilemma upon hearing that Brock might defeat Braun Strowman yet again.
It is not just against Brock, Braun has been denied the opportunity to get his hands on the prestigious Universal Title at Raw a few times in the past. Despite having a tremendous run, the monster among men hasn't won his first Universal Championship. The monster among men famously won the Greatest Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia and the went on to win the Money In The Bank contract but his first title reign seems like a distant thought.
While another defeat or as we might say, unsuccessful attempt at capturing the universal championship would've shattered Braun's reputation.
