Finn Balor defeated John Cena, Drew McIntyre & Baron Corbin in a Fatal 4-Way Match during last night’s episode of Monday Night RAW to become The New #1 Contender for Brock Lesnar’s WWE Universal Title. Balor, The First-Ever WWE Universal Champion, will get his title shot at The WWE Royal Rumble PPV Event.

As previously reported, Braun Strowman was removed from The WWE Universal Title Match at the upcoming WWE Royal Rumble PPV Event with WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar earlier in the show after an angle with WWE Chairman & CEO Vince McMahon. The segment saw Strowman destroy Vince McMahon’s limousine, not knowing who it actually belonged to. Strowman had been searching for Corbin, who was hiding in the limousine. Vince originally fined Strowman $100,000 but Strowman argued with him and said that the limousine wasn’t worth that much. Vince then removed Strowman from The WWE Universal Title Match at Royal Rumble because Strowman argued with him and got loud with him. There is no official word yet on why Strowman was pulled but it is likely due to the elbow injury he recently underwent surgery for. @Wrestlevotes Official Twitter Account recently reported that Strowman is still not 100% healed from the injury.
