3. Creative Has Run Out Of Ideas Already?

How many times can Cameron Grimes and Baron Corbin ambush one another before it gets old? It kinda is already, being brutally honest. This is not character development, people. WWE needs to explore Grimes' motivations on the main roster and present him properly to a bigger audience.

Instead, they're hitting the reset button week after week. Also, Corbin seems to be splitting his time between Cam and Carmelo Hayes on NXT. It's all a bit messy, and isn't really doing anybody involved any favours. This is one feud that either needs a bow on it or some actual meat on the bone.

Corbs being p*ssed that Grimes embarrassed him during his debut is fine, but...can we have some more context on Cameron's side? Showcasing him this way might've been fine short-term. In the longer-term, it's going to make crowds apathetic towards him.

Get him out in front of people!
