6 Reasons Why Baron Corbin Isn't Ready To Be WWE Champion
Mr. Money In The Bank is way behind some of WWE's other big men...
What's the worst that could happen if WWE book Baron Corbin to cash in his Money In The Bank briefcase at SummerSlam to become WWE Champion? WWE need to create more top stars anyway, right?
That need to push fresh faces doesn't mean a performer is ready to become World Champion though, and that's the case with Corbin. All his Money In The Bank victory has done is put pressure on both he and WWE's creative team to succeed despite there being no demand for Baron to bag the WWE Title on SmackDown.
Unless WWE's writers come up with something top notch that convinces fans to view Corbin as more than just another pet project pushed too soon, then the heel would fail with the title. WWE should spend some more time preparing Baron before they even think about making him WWE Champ.
What's the worst that could happen? WWE could kill a potentially great heel, that's what...
6. SummerSlam Is Too Soon
It's been less than 2 months since Baron Corbin scaled the ladder at Money In The Bank and tore down the blue briefcase. The guy was barely even ready for that spot, let alone going all the way and winning the WWE Title at SummerSlam. What's the big rush anyway?
WWE should sit on Corbin's MITB win for a while and let him adapt to being treated like a major player for at least another few months. Surely the whole purpose behind giving Money In The Bank winners 12 months of cash in time is to relax and pick the right spot? Corbin winning at SummerSlam would fly in the face of that mentality.
The more often fans see Baron with the briefcase, the more comfortable the idea of him someday becoming WWE Champion will become. Interfering in the Jinder Mahal vs. Shinsuke Nakamura match just doesn't feel like the right spot for Corbin. It's too soon.
