3 reasons why Finn Balor should beat Brock Lesnar at Royal Rumble 

Finn Balor is a highly talented superstar, and he is an integral part of Raw. Balor competed in a fatal 4-way match on Raw where he was victorious. He defeated Baron Corbin, Drew McIntyre, and John Cena. As a result, he will get a title shot against the Universal Champion, Brock Lesnar, at Royal Rumble.

Braun Strowman was to face Brock Lesnar at Royal Rumble, but Vince McMahon took him out of the match for ruining his limousine. Strowman last fought Lesnar at Crown Jewel where they competed for the vacant Universal Championship, but he failed to beat Lesnar.

Lesnar had a lengthy run when he won his first Universal title. He held the title 504 days which was the longest world title reign in the modern era. Afterwards, he became the first superstar to win the Universal title twice. However, Lesnar could fight in UFC this year, and he might not hold the title for a long period.

Balor will lock horns with Lesnar at Royal Rumble, and he could be an ideal candidate to pin Lesnar. Here we discuss three reasons why Finn Balor should be the new Universal Champion.

#3 Balor is a fantastic in-ring performer

Balor is adept in the squared circle

Finn Balor is a veteran in the ring, and he has been wrestling for 19 years. Balor is undoubtedly one of the best in-ring performers in the WWE, as he has provided several top-notch matches in his career. The former Universal Champion could provide memorable matches if he becomes the Universal Champion.

Balor defeated Roman Reigns on his main roaster debut, and it was a remarkable match. Afterwards, he beat Seth Rollins to win the first ever Universal title. He has also provided some memorable matches against Bray Wyatt, AJ Styles, and many more.

Moreover, Balor's mic skill is noteworthy, and he is capable of cutting good promos. He has all the characteristics to be the top guy of the company. In fact, he was a top guy in Japan, and he could replicate the same feat in WWE.

#2 Brock Lesnar is a part-timer

Brock Lesnar is the holder of the most prestigious title of the red brand, but he is a part-timer. He does not appear on Raw regularly, and it is frustrating for the WWE Universe. As a matter of fact, Lesnar never wrestles on Raw, as he only wrestles in selective PPVs. He did not fight at TLC, and his last match was at Survivor Series where he defeated Daniel Bryan.

Lesnar won the Universal title at Crown Jewel which was held over two months ago. He has not defended his title after his victory at Crown Jewel, as his Survivor Series match was a champion vs champion match.

Whereas Finn Balor is a full-time wrestler who performs every week. Balor will show up every week if he manages to win the Universal title. He will undoubtedly defend the title on every single PPV.

The WWE Universe will prefer to see the Universal Champion every week on Raw, and it might increase the ratings.

#1 Balor is a fan favourite

Will we see Demon Balor at Royal Rumble?

Finn Balor is undeniably one of the most popular superstars on Raw, and he gets cheered when he enters the ring. Though Balor has not been in the title picture for over two years, he is still a popular choice of the WWE Universe.

WWE signed Balor in 2014, and he had an astonishing start to his WWE career, as he became the NXT Champion. As a matter of fact, he was the longest NXT Champion, and he held the title for 292 days. Balor had notable feuds with Neville, Samoa Joe, and Kevin Owens.

Balor's 'Demon King' persona became a massive hit in NXT, and this continued on the main roster. At the initial stage of his main roster career, he mostly wrestled as the Demon King. However, he has not used the Demon King character in the last few months.

Finn Balor might appear as the 'Demon King' on Royal Rumble. The WWE Universe will love to see his alter ego against Brock Lesnar.
