This match began as a feud between Kane and Braun Strowman, stemming from the TLC 2017 PPV where Kane, Strowman, The Miz, and The Bar took on Seth Rollins, Kurt Angle and Dean Ambrose in a TLC Match.

During the match, Kane accidentally hit Strowman with a steel chair. Eventually Strowman's entire team turned on him and threw him into the back of a garbage truck. This led to the two men feuding until they had to wrestle each other to determine the next contender for Brock Lesnar's Universal Title.

The match ended in a double count out. General Manager Kurt Angle decided to add both men to the title match at the Royal Rumble, making it a huge Triple Threat of monstrous men.

The build up to this included some of Strowman's best WWE moments. An enraged Bran Strowman tipped over a lighting rig on Kane and Lesnar. In turn, Kurt Angle fired 'The Monster Among Men,' who then went on a rampage destroying everything including a WWE production truck, until he was reinstated to the company.

Lesnar retained the title yet again, by pinning Kane in the middle of the ring. While Strowman didn't win the title, he also didn't technically take the pinfall. This led to another confrontation between Lesnar and Strowman, who made it abundantly clear that he was never actually beaten.
