10 WWE Fates Worse Than Death

8. Getting Covered In Dog Food

3 of the 4 men pictured above went on to create "cinema" as part of The Bloodline story, but they were in bargain bin B-movie territory on the 31 January 2020 episode of SmackDown. WWE was still in the iron grip of Vince McMahon's worst era of booking. Genuinely. 2019-2020 gave anything from 1995 a run for its money. Yes, even 'King' Mabel

Speaking of royalty, 'King' Corbin had to get his comeuppance after feuding with 'Big Dog' Roman. The company went literal with this by having Baron and his pals mock a mascot made to look like the eh...big dog from Reigns entrances. Things peaked (or dipped, which would be more fitting for this article) in late-January when Corbin lost a match to Roman and thus had to be covered in pints and pints of dog chow.

Corbin has since revealed that the food smelled awful. It was so foul, in fact, that the smell almost made him vomit chunks live on air. As Baron tried to maintain his composure and keep his lunch down, Reigns and The Usos celebrated and acted like they were the most hilarious bros on campus. Not quite Bloodline greatness, eh?

This would actually be a tipping point for Roman. He said enough was enough and marched off to map out his 'Tribal Chief' rebrand for the summer. Well, he did that after taking time out due to COVID concerns, but the point stands. The smell of that dog meat probs wasn't out of Corbin's clothes by the time Reigns returned to action with a bang at SummerSlam.

'Sad' Corbin right enough.
