6 Ups And 6 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (June 25)

UPS…

6. Corbin Antagonizes

WWE

Baron Corbin as yet another authority figure should be a permanent “down” on this list, but we’ve made the point already.

However, let’s give him a very small “up” for growing into his role as an antagonist. Monday, he stood there as GM Kurt Angle was introduced, and then indicated that JoJo needed to introduce him as well. But when JoJo simply gave his name and not his title, Corbin became irate. He demanded that she intro him as “Stephanie McMahon’s personally appointed” constable of Raw.

What a Grade-A jerk. And that was the point.

He’s still another authority figure, but at least he’s trying to make it work, so we’ll give it passing marks this week.
