RAW Kicks-Off With Universal Champion Brock Lesnar As Finn Balor Goes One-On-One With Braun Strowman

It looks like Braun Strowman has been cleared to compete after all. Raw got underway with Brock Lesnar, Paul Heyman and Vince McMahon, but it wasn't long before Strowman & Finn Balor joined them in the ring.

We knew Brock Lesnar would be on Raw tonight to confront his Royal Rumble opponent Finn Balor, and The Beast opened the show.

After Paul Heyman cut a promo on Balor, none other than Vince McMahon made his way to the ring to join in the mockery with a little David and Goliath analogy. Then, Braun Strowman showed up and did his usual shouting banal nonsense shtick at Lesnar.

Finally, Balor - y'know, the guy that's actually challenging Brock for the title - got involved and cut a pretty underwhelming promo (sorry, Finn) of his own before Vince booked a match between him and The Monster Among Men.

The bout was exciting enough, with Balor eventually hitting the Coup de Grace on Braun. However, before he could go for the pin, Brock got involved and hit The Irishman with an F-5.

The fact that Finn came up short here has led to speculation that "The Extraordinary Man" might actually pull off the win on Sunday, but it seems very unlikely - especially now it's been confirmed that he won't be showing up as The Demon!
