Finn Balor Earns Opportunity To Face Brock Lesnar For Universal Title At WWE Royal Rumble, Updated Card

Finn Balor will finally get a chance to earn back the title he never lost.

Balor capped off a spectacular three days with a victory over John Cena, Baron Corbin and Drew McIntyre in a fatal four-way bout on Raw. The victory gave Balor a shot at Brock Lesnar and the WWE Universal Title at the Royal Rumble. Braun Strowman was pulled from the match against Lesnar earlier in the night after he destroyed Vince McMahon's limo while searching for Baron Corbin.
