WWE SummerSlam 2026: 10 Nightmares That Could Come True

10. Baron Corbin Whoops That Trick

When WWE fans chant, "Whoop that Trick! Whoop that Trick! Whoop that Trick!" over and over during Trick Willy's entrance, they're definitely not encouraging opponents to give him a stiff beatdown. It's become a term of endearment for thousands in the stands, but there are genuine fears that Baron Corbin could leave Minnesota as the new United States Champion.

Look, this isn't meant to be some brutal bashing of the ex-'Constable'. He's only just returned to the fold, and Corbin definitely deserves to be given the benefit of the doubt for now. However, should he be beating Williams for that gold? Hell no. Even those who yearn for the days of Baron at his Kurt Angle-beating erm...best would surely agree that he has no business toppling a rising star like Trick.

It could happen though.

After all, Corbs has only just returned to WWE life, and he might have a fair few supporters in the writing room. Someone like Bruce Prichard or Michael Hayes would probs go to bat for Baron and suggest that giving him a short-term run would spice things up a little. No, that'd be a substitute for doing what you should be doing: Developing Trick and focusing on his blossoming feud with old partner turned enemy Carmelo Hayes.

Corbin should be a speed bump at most. If he's clutching that bespoke, furry version of the US Title on Sunday night in Minneapolis, then WWE might need to wheel out the funeral gig yet again. Not for Gingerbread Man, but for Williams and his push.
