10 New Raw Matches Made Possible By WWE's Superstar Shakeup

8. Bobby Lashley Vs. Baron Corbin

Despite never being praised for his verbal skills, the recently-returned Bobby Lashley has the size and presence to be a solid addition to the Raw roster. He'll need similarly-sized performers to work with however, and that's where Baron Corbin comes in.

OK, so you're probably thinking that a match like this would be a complete disaster, and maybe you're right.

It's a totally new prospect in WWE though, and it could work if Lashley and Corbin are given an issue to feud over or some matches that'd suit their brawling in-ring styles. Hell, Bobby could even throw in some MMA ground and pound during a No DQ bout if he's feeling adventurous.

If Corbin isn't given something cool to do quickly on Raw, he's just going to continue eating up air time for no reason like he was on SmackDown. The MITB experiment failed, so WWE's task is now to feed Baron opponents that don't expose his limitations.

A good 10 minutes trading strikes and power moves with Lashley should do it.
