5 reasons why Finn Balor isn't 'over' enough to face Brock Lesnar

Fi
Finn Balor will not face Brock Lesnar at the Royal Rumble

#2 He’s lost clean five times in six months

Finn Balor's defeat to Kane was widely criticised

When you look at the facts, there’s no denying that Finn Balor deserves a one-on-one match for the Universal Championship. After all, he had to give the title up in August 2016 due to injury and he never actually lost it.

But when you look at the stats and the number of opponents he has been defeated by in 2017, it’s no wonder WWE doesn’t think the Irishman would be a serious enough challenger for Brock Lesnar.

In a six-month span between May and November, “The Demon King” was defeated clean by Roman Reigns, Samoa Joe, Bray Wyatt, Kane and Randy Orton.

Of course, the most memorable clean loss during that time period was against 50-year-old Kane, who pinned Balor after just seven minutes on Raw in October in one of the most controversial matches of 2017.
