3 possible endings to Finn Balor vs Brock Lesnar at WWE Royal Rumble 2019

This past week on Raw, Finn Balor earned a shot at a title he never lost after defeating John Cena, Drew McIntyre, and Baron Corbin in a fatal 4-way.

Balor is now set to face 'the Beast' Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship at the Royal Rumble PPV. Finn Balor vs Brock Lesnar has been long awaited ever since Balor returned from the injury he suffered at SummerSlam 2016.

While the match was always hyped by the fans, WWE never really pushed towards that direction. Some thought the officials backstage did not believe in the Demon as a draw, and others felt Balor wasn't credible enough to challenge The Beast Incarnate. However, WWE has finally decided to give Balor his chance to face the current Universal Champion.

The outcome of this match is really unpredictable. Considering how WWE is shaking things up, one cannot confirm how the match will go down. Here are 3 ways Brock Lesnar vs Finn Balor could end.

#3 A tale similar to AJ Styles and Daniel Bryan's

Finn Balor is the "David" in his battle against Brock Lesnar

Finn Balor vs Brock Lesnar could be the modern day David vs Goliath tale, as Balor isn't huge compared to the Beast. Finn is the "David" in this battle. However, just like Daniel Bryan and AJ Styles, Finn Balor too could prove to be a strong competitor against the Universal Champion.

Both Styles and Bryan were impressive against Lesnar at Survivor Series 2017 and 2018 respectively. They used their speed and agility to counter the strength of Brock Lesnar, and were inches away from conquering the Conqueror. We might see Balor put up a similar fight against Brock Lesnar, but just like Styles and Bryan, Balor will fall just short of dethroning the Beast.

#2 The Goliath proves to be too strong

Brock Lesnar has held the Universal Championship for more than 70 days in his current reign

While a fairy tale is what everyone likes to see, WWE has a habit of shocking you when you least expect them to. Brock Lesnar is a freak of nature, because a man his size should not move as quickly as he does. Instead of seeing Finn Balor as a credible opponent, we might see WWE go the other way.

Just like SummerSlam 2014, we could see WWE book Lesnar way too strongly. Just like John Cena, we might see Finn Balor at the end of multiple german suplexes. There is a good chance of seeing the Beast absolutely manhandle Finn Balor.

While this win would prove instrumental in building up Lesnar's next fight at WrestleMania 35, it can be used in a very creative way to rebuild Finn Balor.

#1 The Demon King to slay the Beast

We last saw the Demon King at SummerSlam 2018 where he defeated Baron Corbin

With the huge difference in the size of the two competitors, it is evident that Balor will have a tough time against Brock Lesnar. However, the same cannot be said for the Demon King. Since his NXT days, WWE has rightly protected the Demon King persona of Finn Balor, using it only for big matches. On the main roster, the Demon King is yet to be defeated.

Considering the monumental task to dethrone Brock Lesnar which wrestlers like Braun Strowman and Roman Reigns have failed to do, this will be the perfect time to bring back the Demon King.

However, the interesting part in bringing back the Demon King is the outcome of the match. While the previous two endings saw Balor on the losing end, the Demon King persona is what will be needed to slay the Beast.
