WWE RAW: 5 Reasons why Baron Corbin is facing Seth Rollins for the Universal Championship next
Everyone expected the episode of WWE RAW that followed AEW Double or Nothing to be absolutely exceptional indeed, to prove to the world that they're still the top dogs. Instead, the episode that followed was a drab and underwhelming affair that left a sour taste in almost everyone's mouth.
Perhaps the only notable talking point to come out of the show is the fact that Baron Corbin is the new Number 1 contender for the WWE Universal Championship. Why was he chosen ahead of all of the other talents in the current roster, many have been asking!?
I will try and answer the question in this very article. Let me know your own thoughts and views in the comments section below.
Do you think Baron Corbin can become the next WWE Universal Champion down the line?
#5 Top babyface vs. top heel
If you break it down to the essentials, WWE has literally booked a match between their top babyface and their top heel. Seth Rollins is the Universal Champion, he's beloved by the WWE Universe (such is not the case with Roman Reigns) and the crowd will cheer him on to win the match.
He goes up against Baron Corbin, a man who always gets a negative reaction whenever he steps out to compete or even cut a promo. I mean Corbin is easily the most hated man in the roster because even the other heels like Ziggler and Kevin Owens don't get the same kind of heat that Baron Corbin does.
So, in a market like Saudi Arabia, where the crowd cheers for the babyfaces and boos the heels, this makes for a perfect match. Do not forget that they've wrestled some good matches in the past.
So, their chemistry should not be doubted at all.
