WWE Raw: 5 Shockers & Surprises from this week’s episode (May 27, 2019)

#2 Baron Corbin’s victory

Continuing for the previous point, it’s Baron Corbin who has been bagging important matches and victories in the presence of men like Cesaro and Ricochet on the Raw roster.

Earlier in the night, a Fatal 4-way match was announced which involved AJ Styles. However, Barn Corbin attacked Styles and took his spot in the match before the big event.

This led to The Miz, Braun Strowman, The Lone Wolf and Bobby Lashley locking horns to become the Number 1 Contender for the Universal Championship at Super ShowDown.

The choice of men involved in the match was surprising, as Bobby Lashley and Braun Strowman are already scheduled to fight at the Saudi Arabian event, leaving only The Miz and Corbin as real contenders.

Corbin picked up the surprise win which would only make sense if WWE plans to make it a throwaway match for him before Rollins moves on to another opponent.

With Lesnar most probably planning to make an appearance at Super ShowDown, Corbin’s entry would only make sense if WWE plans to let The Beast destroy the two superstars.
