Roman Reigns and Baron Corbin actually work quite well against one another. Corbin has grown as an in-ring superstar and one can say that he's at par with Reigns now. But the thing is that we've seen so many matches between the two, that it's not fresh anymore. And WWE has been struggling with the third hour for many weeks.
RAW always begins with big numbers in the very first hour of action, which plateaus by the second. By the third hour, there is a huge decrease in the number of viewers. This is why WWE needs a fresh match to keep the viewers hooked.

Corbin vs. Reigns wasn't a very exciting match really. McIntyre vs. Ambrose definite is a far better contest.
I really hope, at the same time, that Roman Reigns is fit to compete and a health reason did not keep The Big Dog away.
