6. May Doesn't Mean Defeat For Corbin

Don't infer any political opinion from that subheading - it's just a feeble attempt at humour almost as strained as the previous page's. The prediction isn't a stretch though; poor Zayn is completely moribund in the mid-card, and is clearly fodder for WWE's big Baron Corbin assault.

It's no secret that the company are well-invested in the leather-clad 'Lone Wolf', which means B-level PPV defeats are not part of his particular diet. On the flip side, Sami's role is to lose - apparently that's the way to get an underdog over. Chalk up another defeat on his inexorable rise to stardom here.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
