Brock Lesnar W/ Paul Heyman vs Finn Balor
The first match in the World Title Qualifier between the Beast Brock Lesnar and the Rookie, Finn Balor. The winner of this will go on to face either Cena or Cesaro. Before the match, Paul takes the mic and introduces Brock Lesnar as the 1 in 21 and the conqueror and the fans boo very loud. Finn Balor makes his debut in his Demon form! He uses this in only the most crucial matches. Heyman caused multiple distractions to Finn haulting any momentum he gains. Heyman throws a chair in the ring and as he distracts the ref, Lesnar hits a suplex on the chair. Balor went for the Coup de grace two times in a row but Heyman distracts the ref both times. As Balor goes for the 3rd Lesnar catches him and f5's him for the win! Lesnar moves on to the chamber!
