Matching domain name with an industry giant name

Hello All,
Your valuable suggestions would be highly appreciated.
I need advice on choosing a domain name. I am starting a new blog like Healthline . com. It is the industry leader whose monthly organic traffic is over 56 million.
I got a domain name with TheHealthline . com. What do you think? Would Google give me some rank (SEO) benefit as my domain is 90% matching with an industry giant name?
