10 Live Observations From WWE Raw After WrestleMania 35
7. Bad Mother F*cker
A story of three very differing careers converged in what would have traditionally been a dead spot on most standard issue editions of Monday Night Raw.
The tail-end of the first hour had a white hot heel, a red hot babyface and a slightly-cooled debut bottled for post-WrestleMania convenience. Corbin was in electric form as a total piece of sh*t - the extremely vulgar entry title paraphrased the fans’ feelings towards him - but Kurt Angle was permitted to get his heat back after a WrestleMania defeat before Lara Sullivan rose from the dying embers of his original push to flatten the former Olympian.
Brooklyn didn’t exactly go wild for the former NXT also-ran, with many (presumably transatlantic) fans even giving him the dreaded “Who Are Ya?” treatment that was probably as much literal query as it was a taunt.
Corbin, subsequently, was the biggest star from this entire thing - a fact that must have pleased whoever backstage desperately wants his limited character to succeed. He’s grown immensely in confidence by virtue of the disdain, and appears now as a likely three-supercard scuffler for Seth Rollins to evntually squeeze by.
