Three giants collide in a match reminiscent of the 1980’s.\u00a0 The Beast, The Devil’s Favourite Demon and the Monster Amongst Men clash for the Universal Championship. \u00a0Braun Strowman has been on a warpath in the lead up to this match – just weeks ago he crushed Kane and Brock Lesnar by pulling down part of the stage on top of both men.\u00a0 Kane and Strowman have been at war ever since\u00a0TLC\u00a0<\/strong>when Kane turned on Strowman and put him in a Garbage Truck.<\/p>\n

This only served to anger the Monster Amongst Men who fought Kane on December 11th for the right to face Lesnar for the Universal title.\u00a0 That match finished as a double count, out as these two brawled all around ringside.\u00a0 \u00a0The next week on RAW, all three men\u00a0shared the same ring as Strowman and Kane made their case for the title shot.\u00a0 The carnage that ensued after\u00a0Kurt Angle\u00a0<\/strong>made this triple threat match, somehow saw all three men stand tall at the end.<\/p>\n

On January 1st Brock Lesnar went head to head with Kane.\u00a0 Kane chokeslammed\u00a0Lesnar, who sat up and brawled with Kane before being separated\u00a0by the rest of the roster.\u00a0 The following week saw Strowman bury his opponents by crushing them with the stage.\u00a0 On January 15th, Strowman faced the consequences of his actions.\u00a0 Angle fired him and unleashed an angry monster.\u00a0 Strowman wreaked havoc backstage and took over the production truck.\u00a0 He then held\u00a0Michael Cole\u00a0<\/strong>hostage and threatened to beat him up causing Angle to reinstate him.<\/p>\n

In the main event of RAW 25, the three men shared the same ring again for the\u00a0first time in nearly a month.\u00a0 Chaos ensued almost immediately as Brock Lesnar left Kane laying before being manhandled by Strowman.\u00a0 Strowman stood tall heading into the title match as he put Lesnar through an announce table.<\/p>\n

Who’s Winning?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

A legend like Kane can never be ruled out.\u00a0 The devil’s favorite demon has been as imposing as ever since his return.\u00a0 Strowman has come out on top and looks to be the favorite going in.\u00a0 You can never look past the Beast Incarnate Brock Lesnar especially at the\u00a0Royal Rumble.\u00a0 In non-rumble matches, Lesnar is 4-0.\u00a0 The favourite going in will be Strowman but we can’t look past Lesnar,\u00a0 Kane isn’t getting any younger and it will be interesting to see him keep up with his opponents.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
