Royal Rumble 2018 – Braun Strowman v Brock Lesnar v Kane – Universal Championship – Predictions

On Sunday night the Universal Championship will be on the line, as Brock Lesnar defends against Braun Strowman and Kane.

Strowman has been on top against the two others in recent weeks on RAW.

Who Wins?

As much as I would like Strowman to win, you just know WWE are going to let Lesnar retain the belt.

Thoughts

Strowman is the one out of these three who most deserves to be the Universal Champion right now.

Strowman has established himself as one of the most popular performers on RAW, with the WWE Universe a huge fan of Strowman.

Lesnar appears on RAW about once a month, and that simply isn’t good enough for someone who is meant to be the best superstar on RAW, he should be appearing more often.

Kane just seems like the person in this match who will take the pinfall, as he seems to be back for the short term, rather than the long term future.

Apparently WWE already have their sights on a Roman Reigns v Lesnar main event at Wrestlemania, a match basically nobody wants to see.

If they keep not putting the belt on Strowman, there’s only so many losses he can take in these matches before people start to make a mockery out of him.

Question – Who do you think will win this match?

My Thoughts

You can tell that the WWE Universe clearly weren’t happy with the decision to let Reigns win this Rumble.

There was a severe lack of top stars in this match. I don’t remember seeing Cena, Orton, Rollins, Sheamus and a lot more.

I get the feeling this is where Reigns’ push started to happen, and you can tell the WWE Universe felt that too.

My Thoughts

A good Royal Rumble match.

The pop when the Godfather came out was great as I am pretty sure that nobody suspected it.

From what I remember, Ryback was doing very well at this moment in time, so a win for him, rather than Cena would have probably made more sense.

Jericho and Ziggler lasting so long in the match was good to see as well.
