5 Surprises that could take place in WWE in February
The Royal Rumble has set the stage for what should be a really exciting sequence of events leading up to WrestleMania 35. The card is shaping up nicely, and with Elimination Chamber scheduled mid-way through the month, one can only assume that February will be a very exciting month for members of the WWE Universe.
I daresay that we should expect a lot of surprises in February. I've tried to list a few of them in this article. Let me know if you can think of more surprises for the month in the comments.
WWE has the chance to get it right with some good booking. If they do, the mass exodus of talent that is happening right now can be significantly curbed.
And throwing in a good old fashioned surprise or two does not hurt.
#5 Balor becomes the Intercontinental Champion
Finn Balor had the support of the WWE Universe when he went in to wage war against the significantly larger Brock Lesnar at the Royal Rumble. Despite his great showing, Balor fell short and could not topple The Beast Incarnate. But the following night on RAW, he had a showdown with Lio Rush and the current Intercontinental Champion, Lashley!
Any match with Brock Lesnar is a rough night at the office for the opponent because of just how physical it is. Because Balor came up short in this massive title match, I think he will be rewarded and thrust into the Intercontinental Championship situation very soon indeed. I have a feeling that he'll emerge victorious at the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view.
WWE obviously wants to retain Balor with so many talents leaving the company right now. Rewarding him with a title is the best way.
