Ups...

7. Elias Puts Down Corbin

One good thing about Baron Corbin’s reign of terror, aside from it being over, is that now that it’s over, he’s a punching bag for everyone.

Cue Elias, who cut off the former acting GM’s ranting to tell him that his time was up. Elias wanted to throw a party, but he doesn’t invite losers, so Baron was instructed to get lost. Things devolved from there, with the troubadour’s song getting cut off and a brawl ensuing.

Corbin had the upper hand for a bit, but Elias would chase him off. It looks like this could be the next feud for both of them, which would make sense, since Elias basically turned face thanks to Corbin chasing him off the stage a few months back.
