Way to build up your heel challenger for Kurt Angle’s retirement match, WWE.

Baron Corbin already is reviled by fans, so defeating Apollo Crews was not going to cause a full-scale riot. And WWE isn’t going to suddenly push Crews as a threat. So why have Apollo reverse an End of Days attempt into a rollup for the “upset” win?

It’s just one of those weird decisions that make little sense. It was a nothing match, and all it did was serve to enrage Corbin as he slipped on a banana peel and lost to a perennial jobber.
