WWE Stomping Grounds 2019: Ranking the build up for each match

#1 Universal Championship match w/ special guest referee - Seth Rollins (c) vs. Baron Corbin

It may be a rematch, but Rollins' actions Monday night and a special guest referee add new layers.

Even if you cannot stand Baron Corbin, the build for this feud has been done extremely well. While we all know that Corbin isn't likely to win the title from Rollins, WWE is still doing its best to present the odds as stacked against the Universal Champ.

Corbin was his own worst enemy at SSD because he terrorized that match's referee. But as most heels do, they blame their losses on anyone and everyone else. It is strange that Corbin went from being blamed for Raw's drop in ratings last December to getting another shot at the title. Instead, he should have been reprimanded for his action in Jeddah in some fashion.

The whole pursuit to find a special guest referee for the match has been fun to watch because every time he picked someone, you knew that they would be getting trucked by Rollins at some point. It happened to Zayn, Owens, EC3, Elias, Eric Young and the B-Team.

Because he's seemed so desperate and willing to do anything to save his title, Rollins has seemed more like an unhinged individual. Brock Lesnar and MITB has made 'the Beastslayer' paranoid like an animal backed into a corner.

A good portion of both Raw and SmackDown were allotted to Corbin's search for someone to basically cheat in his favor during the upcoming match. It even took up an in-ring segment with 'the Kevin and Sami Show'. Corbin may not be winning the title, but his character work has been great during the build to Stomping Grounds.
