#3 Finn Balor has gotten an edge over Brock Lesnar

The Extraordinary Man only took one night to change himself from being one of the most overlooked stars on the Raw roster to being the number one contender for the top championship.

Even after all his efforts, we found out this week that Vince still doesn’t believe in him. Therefore, he put Balor in a match with the largest man currently competing in the WWE, Braun Strowman.

While it made little sense for a match between these two men to take place, as Strowman is the man who lost his place to Finn Balor, it seemed likely from the start that the match would end in a no contest.

Even though that happened, Balor left a huge mark on the WWE Universe by proving himself once again and coming very close to victory over Strowman.

While Lesnar’s interference spoilt the party, we’ve usually seen the man lying flat on the mat before a championship match emerge victorious when the time arrives.
