– As noted, Braun Strowman vs. Kane to determine the Royal Rumble opponent for WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar ended in a Double Count Out on this week’s RAW from Cleveland. Strowman ended the show by taking out Kane and powerslamming him through a table.
Below is post-show Fallout video of Charly Caruso catching up with Strowman. Strowman says nothing will stand in his way from Lesnar and the title, then walks away to end the segment.
– Dave Meltzer discussed the Universal Championship Match on today’s installment of Wrestling Observer Radio and said that WWE is going with a three-way at The Royal Rumble event next month for the Universal Championship. Meltzer said it was Vince McMahon’s call and unless things change last minute, that will be the match at The Rumble next month.
Meltzer speculated that WWE didn’t want to have Braun or Brock get pinned right now, which is why they didn’t do a singles match between the two. Kane was added to the match so that he can take the pinfall.
