Not long ago, we discovered that King Corbin would lead a faction that consists of Robert Roode and Dolph Ziggler in WWE. But even more recently, we also learned that Robert Roode had been suspended because of a wellness policy violation.

So, for the last few weeks, we've also seen vignettes announcing the big return of Sheamus to WWE, and while it would make all the sense in the world for him to return as a solo act, he may just thrive as a member of King Corbin's faction. And the reason for this is that as good as Sheamus is as a performer, he doesn't have the same kind of equity that he once used to, and has almost slipped into the role of a tag team Superstar.

Plus, WWE may have needed both Ziggler and Roode to tell the story that they were going to tell at TLC, and with one individual gone, Roman Reigns wouldn't necessarily be in the 'fighting all the odds' situation that WWE presumably may want to portray.
