WWE News: New Universal Title Match Now Set For Royal Rumble

Brock Lesnar has a new Royal Rumble challenger!

Now that Braun Strowman is officially out of the Universal Championship Match at Royal Rumble on January 27th (more on that here), we needed a new challenger to step up to the plate and that would be determined tonight on RAW (keep up with it all with Mitchell’s Live RAW Report).

After John Cena, Drew McIntyre, Baron Corbin and Finn Balor all got Mr. McMahon’s ear with regards to getting the opportunity, The Chairman would make a Fatal 4-Way tonight with the winner earning the opportunity. While a Fatal 4-Way Match with the likes of Cena, McIntyre and Corbin all involved was a tough enough task that even Vince would question he could pull of, Balor would be forced into action prior to that against Jinder Mahal just to hang onto that spot.

Finn would be victorious, but banged up as it came time for the main event and all the “beef” in the match Mr. McMahon referenced earlier in the night would dominate the majority of the match with Cena, Corbin and McIntyre all having chances at getting a win. The resilient Balor would fight his way back into it though, kicking out after the opportunistic former-constable nearly reaped the benefits of Cena delivering a second rope Attitude Adjustment.

In the end, Finn would take advantage of an opening and hit Cena with a Coup De Grace, getting the three count and a shot at Brock Lesnar’s Universal Championship:
