5. The Corbin ‘Push’ Continues

Why, oh why do we have to endure more of Baron Corbin?

WWE must figure that because Corbin gets a reaction from fans, then they should push him on TV, regardless of the fact that it’s “go away” heat, not “I’d pay to see him lose” heat.

And yet, Baron defeated Elias for the second time in three episodes of Raw Monday night, a ridiculous outcome when you consider that Elias is the one fans have rallied around and actually could have a future.

Corbin could be something, but his current makeup just doesn’t work. He’s death out there, and yet it looks like we’re going to get more of him. Joy for us.
