It wouldn’t be Monday Night Raw if we weren’t “treated” to a promo from everyone’s favorite time-waster, Baron Corbin.

Corbin wandered in from his s**t at Red Lobster to tell us the specials and then gloat about beating Kurt Angle, then posited that he deserved a gold medal of his own. This led Angle to come out and admit that Baron was the better man at WrestleMania and wish him luck… bad luck.

Just like that, Kurt hit an Olympic Slam and slapped on an ankle lock to send Corbin packing. Altogether, it was a pointless segment, as it gave Angle his heat back a night after ending his career. And this could have been a lot better if someone – anyone – else wrestled that match.
