The build for Finn Balor vs. Brock Lesnar hit a fever pitch as the WWE Universal Champion attacked his challenger during his match with Braun Strowman. In a match that featured a ton of interference from the champion, Balor managed to fight off both Lesnar and “The Monster Amongst Men” in a strong effort. As Balor came close to defeating Strowman, Lesnar entered the ring and pummeled Balor with an F5 for the disqualification.

Advantage: @BrockLesnar.
Can @FinnBalor survive the #F5 if that same thing goes down this Sunday at #RoyalRumble? #RAW pic.twitter.com/6oJEwWhVBn
