5 reasons why AJ Styles lost the US title at WWE Hell in a Cell 2017

#4 Baron Corbin needed a big win

Baron Corbin has lost four major feuds in 2017

WWE is clearly still high on Baron Corbin, despite talk of him having the dreaded ‘backstage heat’ for speaking up in a meeting about concussions. He’s consistently been involved in storylines since joining the main roster and now he’s finally won his first championship.

However, as a character, Corbin has talked the talk more than he’s walked the walk in 2017. From his rivalries with Dean Ambrose, Sami Zayn, Shinsuke Nakamura and John Cena, all of which he lost, to his failed Money In The Bank contract cash-in, Baron has struggled to back up his big mouth for much of this year.

Any more talk of how he’s going to do something, before subsequently failing, and he would’ve been on the right path to Bray Wyatt levels of believability as a character. A title win over AJ Styles, albeit having pinned Tye for the 1-2-3, was much-needed for Corbin.
