7 Ways WWE Can Improve Baron Corbin
3. Put Him In A Tag Team
Okay, so I know I said that Baron Corbin has a built-in heel persona, that he seems like a genuinely unlikable person in real life, and that his gimmick is that of an anti-social loner, but hear me out. Though WWE just loves to slam hodgepodge mid-card tag teams together when they’re struggling to find creative solutions, it actually works more often than it doesn’t, even if only in the short term.
This year has seen the unlikely teams of Rhyno and Heath Slater and Sheamus and Cesaro achieving unpredicted success. The former are your SmackDown Live tag team champions, while the latter two have managed to reinvigorate similarly stale careers as a unit. I propose the same could be done with Corbin – a sort of Team Hell No angle in which a plucky babyface approaches a reluctant Corbin, and asks him to form an alliance. It worked for Bryan and Kane, it worked for Jordan and Gable on NXT, and it could work for Corbin too, if he were approached by the right person. If not, he is the Lone Wolf after all, so there’s always the option to hit the reset button and incite a tag team-split revenge feud.
Just don't put him in a faction with The Ascension, and call it 'The Baron Wasteland'. Nobody wants that.
