#2 To keep Balor and Lashley out of the result
Finn Balor made it clear that he would come back for the Intercontinental Champion back soon from Bobby Lashley. Lashley and Lio Rush hardly seemed threatened by The Extraordinary Man, before his partner was revealed.
As Braun Strowman made it out to the middle, things got exciting as we expected Braun Strowman and Bobby Lashley to deliver a power show in the middle, while Balor and Rush to display unparalleled athleticism
Instead, we watch The Irishman get isolated and take most of the offense while failing to make any real impact at all.
Once Strowman got the hot tag, he was completely unstoppable, after which The All Mighty decided to walk out as his hype man took a clothesline and running power slam, giving the faces the victory.
This allowed both Lashley and Balor to stay out of the result of the match, with neither men taking the submission or pinfall, and establishing Strowman as a real monster.
