9 Ups And 7 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (Jan 21)

2. Balor Runs Wild

When Vince McMahon announced Finn Balor versus Braun Strowman with Brock Lesnar at ringside, it’s safe to say that almost everyone saw the finish coming a mile away.

What people couldn’t have foreseen was how Balor handled being in that situation. No one could have predicted that Finn would have both giants on the ropes at the same time, bouncing between Braun and Brock in a frenzied attack on both men, which only ended when Lesnar finally attacked him just before he could try to pin Strowman.

Balor’s assault on Brock at least gave credence to the possibility that Lesnar could be slowed and even stopped. If Finn could do this to Brock while also dealing with Braun, perhaps there’s hope in a one-on-one match.

Again, nicely done.
