WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar vs. Braun Strowman is now official for Royal Rumble 2019 pay-per-view.
Strowman won the title shot by defeating Baron Corbin in a TLC match at WWE TLC pay-per-view. Strowman, who is still recovering from elbow surgery, came out with his arm in a sling but he did not wrestle.
Strowman pointed out that there were no disqualifications since it was a Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match. Apollo Crews, Bobby Roode, Chad Gable, Finn Balor, Heath Slater (who was the referee for the match), and Kurt Angle all helped Strowman in the match. Everyone did signature moves on Corbin and allowed Strowman to pin him with a boot on the chest. Corbin lost his general manager power as another stipulation of the match.
The Royal Rumble is taking place at Chase Field in Phoenix, Arizona on January 27, 2019.
