Baron Corbin as Raw constable? Seriously, this is WWE’s next big plan for the big man?

Uggh. Just uggh.

Baron became only the second person to cash in his Money in the Bank briefcase and lose his title match last year. It seemed like WWE wanted to rehab the Lone Wolf and make him a serious threat again, but instead, they had him whine to Stephanie McMahon about not getting opportunities, so she appointed him “constable” of Raw.

What the hell does that even mean? Steph’s letter (yes, she sent a letter with Corbin rather than calling or showing up) said he was her “personal representative” there to assist GM Kurt Angle.

That’s not what a constable does. A constable is a peace officer.

Just an all-around dumb idea. Maybe Corbin can make it work by just being an ever-present jerk, but we didn’t need another authority figure on Raw to make that happen.
