WWE Royal Rumble 2019 - Final Card & Predictions

Universal Champion Brock Lesnar vs Finn Balor

WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar vs Finn Balor

WWE CEO Vince McMahon is a wonderful businessman, but a terrible theologian. Of course, the purveyor of the World Bodybuilding Federation and ICOPRO would be obsessed with size. Perhaps that's why he recalls the story of David and Goliath so incorrectly.

It is, however, a proven fact: no giant can overcome the pen of a writer. If WWE were to so choose, they can easily find a way for Balor to defeat Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship. The high flyer is, super hero like, a wrestling version of Spider Man. He is as ready to take the mantle as anyone on the roster.

Unfortunately, WWE probably isn't going there, at least not now. Balor is doing some of his best work and has the fans solidly behind him, but there is a big money making WrestleMania match ahead for Brock Lesnar, whom Vince McMahon still regards as wrestling's best.

Balor will look fantastic. He will take The Beast off guard and keep him off balance for much of the match, but for a man of Lesnar's power, all it takes is one mistake, one imperfection to tilt the scale in his favor. No man is perfect, not even a superhero.

Balor will use his speed to dominate much of the match, but will inevitably find himself in the grip of the powerful Lesnar, who has become WWE's true apex predator. One F-5 is all it will take for Lesnar to punch his ticket to WrestleMania 35.

Winner and STILL Universal Champion: Brock Lesnar
