As they say, one man’s loss is another man’s gain. But in the WWE, it is more like, a Monster’s loss is a Demon’s gain. Braun Strowman, who was set to face Brock Lesnar for the Universal Title at Royal Rumble lost his cool and tried to chase down Baron Corbin, who questioned his abilities. Being tipped by Elias’ song that Corbin is hiding in a limousine, the Monster Among Men tracked down the luxury vehicle and broke the door with his bear hand. Inside the car, though, was Chairman of the Company Vince McMahon.
The Boss levied a $100,000 fine on the wrestler. But Strowman did not budge and continued to raise his voice. Mr. McMahon then called off Strowman’s Universal Title Match and later announced that Lesnar will defend his title against the winner of Finn Balor, Drew McIntyre, Baron Corbin, and Finn Balor. Jinder Mahal threw his hat in the ring and McMahon offered him that he would be included in the match if he is able to beat Balor.
Balor, though, was carrying a momentum tonight and he easily surpassed Mahal’s challenge. Later, in the fatal-four-way match, The Demon King delivered a Coup de Grace to John Cena to seal his win and set up a Royal Rumble challenge against Brock Lesnar for the title. Despite the fall, Cena was gracious to get up to his feet and give his respect to the winner, declaring that the Irishman has made a believer out of him.
