#2 Angle and Mysterio fend off Corbin

Kurt Angle and Baron Corbin are all set to face off at WrestleMania, whether anyone likes it or not. Tonight, Angle came down to the ring and the WWE Universe witnessed a look back at his career, with a string of WWE Superstars praising everything Angle's done for the business.

Corbin interrupted the former Olympic gold medallist and struggled to cut a promo amidst the sea of fans chanting Cena's name. A match between the two was teased right away but Corbin backed out at the last moment. Out came Mysterio and challenged Corbin, but to no avail. A cheap shot by Corbin resulted in Angle and Mysterio teaming up to fend off the dastardly villain.

*Those* chants have a different vibe when they're aimed at @BaronCorbinWWE. 😬 #RAW pic.twitter.com/cGbPY8ZFBD

The segment received a good enough reaction and that's all that mattered at the moment. What's worrisome is how will the crowd react to Corbin wrestling in a marquee match at WrestleMania?

While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.

Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
