We’re gonna give both sides to this issue, just be warned.

In case it wasn’t abundantly clear to the most braindead person watching Raw, power has gone to Baron Corbin’s head. The acting GM decided to insert himself into every facet of Raw, changing matches, breaking up tag teams, and generally being a corrupt authority figure. He booked a one-on-one match between Bobby Roode and Drake Maverick, but then remembered to make it a handicap match after Chad Gable had been beaten down by AOP. He forced Rhyno and Heath Slater to fight each other for a roster spot, then demoted Slater to a referee.

It was almost comical how corrupt Corbin was. The only thing missing was Baron twirling a mustache as he went on about his plans like a bad Bond villain.

Not to mention that he was in a half-dozen segments throughout the night – and that might be a conservative estimate – which is just ridiculous.
