The recent episode of Monday Night Raw had a plethora of shocks and surprises up its sleeves. From Nikki Cross debuting on the main roster to the Almighty Bobby Lashley winning the Intercontinental Championship, the recent edition of WWE's A show proved to be quite an entertainer.
However, the most shocking thing which featured the episode was Finn Balor replacing Braun Strowman in his Universal Championship match against Brock Lesnar after the latter lost his shot via getting in a heated argument with Vince McMahon. The Boss of the Balor Club defeated John Cena, Drew McIntyre and Baron Corbin in the fatal four-way match to earn a shot at the Universal Championship.
While the WWE Universe is head over heels with Balor finally getting a title shot, there is still a concern that WWE might goof up and The Demon King might become another victim of Brock Lesnar.
However, there are endless possibilities that could pan out in the mouthwatering clash on January 27 and so today we take a look at 3 interesting ways WWE could end Finn Balor versus Brock Lesnar at Royal Rumble 2019.
#3 Lesnar wins the fight, Balor wins the night
Given Brock Lesnar is expected to carry the Universal Championship up until WrestleMania 35, Balor getting hold of the Universal Title at Rumble seems a bit unlikely.
However, with The Demon King getting the rumoured push in this new era, plus the whole of the WWE Universe behind him, Creative could have Finn put up a great showing on January 27. Vince could have Balor show immense character in his fight only for Lesnar to sneak in with a controversial victory.
This would neither hinder the plans of Lesnar vs Rollins at WrestleMania 35 nor undermine The Boss of the Balor Club.
#2 Braun Strowman shows up to turn on Finn Balor
Well, Braun Strowman lost his title shot against Lesnar after he got involved in a heated argument with Vince McMahon. However, we might see The Monster among Men turning heel on January 27.
WWE could have Strowman show up while the referee is knocked out to beat the daylights out of Finn Balor and lay down the breadcrumbs for a potential feud for the following weeks.
This would neither sabotage the Rollins vs Lesnar plans for WrestleMania 35 nor undermine Balor via serving as a proper explanation for his loss.
While we saw Strowman losing his title shot due to his heated exchange with Vince on WWE TV, the real reason lies unknown, (it could be backstage heat or maybe Strowman's not medically cleared) and it would be interesting to see what creative has in store for him next week. However, a potential heel turn at Royal Rumble could be on the cards, and Balor could get these hands.
#1 The Rock shows up to cost Lesnar his Universal Championship
Even though The Rock showing up to distract Brock Lesnar and cost him the Universal Championship on January 27 looks a bit unlikely as of now, it could still happen if there is a sudden change of plans for WrestleMania 35.
WWE could have The Brahma Bull show up to cost Brock Lesnar his title if WWE decides to crown Finn Balor as the Universal Championship at Royal Rumble.
It would not only lay down the breadcrumbs for a potential The Rock vs Brock Lesnar match for WrestleMania 35, but WWE could also have another mouthwatering clash between Balor and Rollins (if he wins the Rumble) at the Grandest Stage of them All.
On another note, this would truly spice things up in WWE and make the Road to WrestleMania 35 even more interesting.
