"Baron Corbin is still criminally underrated" - Wrestling world explodes as WWE legend returns as manager with former United States Champion
Former Money in the Bank winner Baron Corbin recently made his return to RAW with JBL as his manager. Following the segment, fans on Twitter went into a frenzy and expressed their thoughts via the microblogging site.
Corbin has recently been absent from WWE programming. He was last seen on SmackDown, where he lost to Shinsuke Nakamura. While roaming in the parking lot, dejected, a white limousine reminiscent of Hall of Famer JBL's car back in the day rolled up to him. He entered the vehicle and was not seen until the latest episode of the red brand.
On the latest episode of RAW, JBL's car entered the arena, and he took to insulting the crowd in attendance. He then introduced Happy Corbin, who reverted to his original persona of Baron Corbin. The former Mayor of Jackpot City was introduced as the Future Wrestling God as he took on Dolph Ziggler in a match.
Fans on Twitter erupted to see the new pair debut on Monday Night RAW. The WWE Universe reacted to Corbin's attire and JBL's presence on the company's programming.

Another fan wanted The Lone Wolf character of Corbin to return.
