10 Possible Swerves For WWE Royal Rumble 2019
7. Braun Strowman Costs Brock Lesnar The Universal Title
Brace yourselves for some Universal Title madness over the next few entries.
The first looks at the possibility of some Braun Strowman interference in the match between reigning champ Brock Lesnar and apparent no-hoper Finn Bálor. What if Braun, who lost to Finn on Raw, comes out to seemingly avenge his defeat. Then, in a minor shock, what if he targets Brock and costs 'The Beast' his prize?
This would be an easy out for the writers if they fancy taking a chance on Bálor. Let's face facts though: if Finn ever did win the Universal Title for a second time, his reign would only be marginally longer than his first. Come Elimination Chamber, he'd be dropping it to whoever WWE fancied running with at 'Mania.
Should WWE take this route and resist pulling the rug from underneath Finn in February, they could tack on a few matches to the 'Mania card. Braun could meet Lesnar in a grudge match and Bálor would face the Royal Rumble winner, whomever that may be.
