There's a disconnect when viewers watch Baron Corbin mumble his way through scripted dialogue on SmackDown and then appear confident and concise several hours later on Talking Smack. During several appearances on the talk show, Corbin has come across well.

That's because he's not being cajoled into regurgitating bland bully-boy phrases and can actually show his natural personality off.

This is true on Raw Talk too. Recent guests like Alexa Bliss have displayed the passion noticeably absent when reciting lines like a robot inside the ring and during backstage promos. This should tell WWE that freedom is the only way.

Talent are responding to such flexibility and running with the chance to speak their minds. Bring those human elements to Raw and SmackDown instead of restricting everyone with uninspiring scripting.
