Out of six possible options, the best we got was Baron Corbin?

WWE might be high on Corbin, but that doesn’t mean that we should have to suffer through more matches involving the Lone Wolf at the top of the card. Corbin is a solid hand, but he’s not the savior of the brand, not in the way someone like Kevin Owens or Shinsuke Nakamura could be.

Uggh, Baron Corbin. That’s the guy WWE wants to build its future around, despite months of “meh” from fans. But the company seems adamant about what they want, even having Corbin dump AJ Styles and Nakamura at the same time before retrieving the briefcase.
