2. Baron Loser

We’ve given Roman Reigns a fair amount of criticism for losing big matches where he really should win, so we can’t leave Baron Corbin alone.

However, Corbin seems to lose both the big matches (such as his Money in the Bank briefcase cash-in) and completely meaningless matches, such as Monday’s bout against No Way Jose. It’s not that Jose is a hugely inferior competitor, but Corbin lost after being distracted by Titus Worldwide for a full two minutes. It was a godawful moment for Baron, and made him look like the geekiest geek who ever geeked.

Seriously, this can’t be stressed enough, but are we supposed to treat Corbin as a serious threat, or an all-bark, no-bite joke? Sadly, we’ll bet money that WWE doesn’t know the answer to that question either.
