2. Corbin’s A Supreme Jerk

That’s really a compliment.

This column was hard on Baron Corbin when he was appointed “constable” of Raw, mainly because it was another authority figure (then the third on Raw), using the title incorrectly at that. But since being appointed acting GM, Corbin has settled into his role decently. He’s learned how to rile the fans up, play into their chants, and tick them off even more.

Monday, Corbin made sure to change the match between Elias and Bobby Lashley to a no-DQ bout, but then he interfered himself in the beatdown with a steel chair, instigating the fans by whooping at them as he, Lashley and Drew McIntyre attacked Elias.

He still can grate and make you want to change the channel, but Baron is showing flashes of getting it put together.
