In case you didn’t know…
In the latest episode, Shane McMahon announced that Corbin will take on Nakamura at WWE Battleground on 23rd July, 2017. The feud has been building ever since Corbin won the Money In The Bank.
Nakamura and AJ Styles were headed towards the briefcase but Corbin knocked both of them off the ladder and went on to win.
The heart of the matter
After 205 Live went off air last night, Nakamura and Corbin went one-one in a dark match. Nakamura would go on to win the match after hitting Corbin with a Kinshasa. However, it was Corbin who would put a bigger smile on the faces of the fans.
Corbin was heading backstage when he noticed the young fan in the attendance. He saw him crying for some reason and decided to go over to console him. The Lone Wolf held the young boy in his arms until he stopped crying and even gifted the t-shirt he was wearing.

It turns out that the 'Lone Wolf' does have his heart in the right place. The incident got a big pop from the crowd as well. After all, it isn’t every day that you see a Superstar breaking character for a good cause.
