5 Most head-scratching decisions from WWE RAW (Dec 10th)

#2 Baron takes the blame

Baron Corbin is a former United States Champion

As the December 10th edition of Raw opened, fans were given a promo battle between top star Seth Rollins and the nefarious GM-in-waiting Baron Corbin.

The WWE decided to have Rollins be the voice of the people; to lambast Corbin for the truly awful Raws we’ve seen over the past several weeks.

That in and of itself is absolutely fine – the top babyface speaking the truth and saying what so many fans have been thinking – but one of several missteps made during this segment was in the details of just why Corbin was at fault.

Bizarrely, the creative decision to have Drake Maverick urinate on Bobby Roode’s robe a few weeks ago was seemingly pegged as a creative call of Baron Corbin’s – which just makes no sense whatsoever. But if Rollins is saying everything that happened on the show has been written and designed by Corbin, that has to fall under his watch, too.

It’s one thing to blame the Corbin character for what we have seen play out on the WWE TV show each Monday – as a character, he’s the boss of the fictional show we see – but to actually make specific mention of Corbin being responsible for the writing of the show that’s done by the WWE creative team? That’s nonsensical on so, so many levels. And yet again, this was something that pretty much slapped Raw’s viewers across the face.
