4 Reasons why a triple threat main event makes perfect sense at the Royal Rumble
Fans were anticipating a blockbuster main event from last week’s RAW as Kane faced Braun Strowman to determine the number one contender for the WWE Universal Championship. The winner of this match was supposed to face Brock Lesnar at the Royal Rumble PPV, the first of the Big-4 PPVs of a year.
The match was a slobber knocker of a main event. However, as we predicted, the match ended with in a draw. Brock Lesnar is scheduled to show up on Raw this week.
The wrestling world is buzzing with all the possibilities and the probabilities to demystify the Universal title picture at the Royal Rumble.
We present to you the four reasons why having a triple threat match at the Royal Rumble makes perfect sense.
#1 To sell the match despite of its obvious result
Everyone is on the same page when it comes to the main event at WrestleMania 34. It would be Brock Lesnar defending his Universal Championship against the “Big Dog”, Roman Reigns.
Given the guaranteed match at WrestleMania 34, the Universal Championship matches prior to the event have become irrelevant. Hence, there should be a match which would attract the fans despite the obvious result.
Brock Lesnar defending his championship against Kane and Braun Strowman will just serve the purpose. Note that Kane and Brock Lesnar have never faced each other in a proper match apart from being in the Royal Rumble match in 2016. It is a pretty big deal despite Kane being a shadow of his former self.
We have seen similar matches in the past; Lesnar(c) vs. Cena vs. Rollins (2015), Kurt Angle(c) vs. Chris Benoit (2003), Randy Orton(c) vs. Jeff Hardy (2003) are to name a few.
