WWE Royal Rumble 2019: 5 reasons why Finn Balor will defeat Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship

#4. Finn Balor getting pushed again

There have been rumours of Finn Balor getting pushed for a while now. It became clear in December that he was getting pushed, and now in hindsight, it's clear that this was done because he was the backup plan in the case of Braun Strowman being unable to compete.

WWE's worst fears did come true when Strowman was clearly unable to compete, and Balor was the man who replaced him. Even so, win or lose, Balor is receiving that big push again, and it became clear when he had that interaction with Vince McMahon.

He told Vince "You never believed in me", and that made him an instant underdog. For the first time since Summer of 2016, Balor is getting that big push. The push could very well be so big that he ends up toppling The Beast Incarnate and becoming a two-time WWE Universal Champion.
