Kurt Angle returned to Monday Night RAW this past week and earned a spot in the WWE World Cup. Kurt will be one of 8 participants in the tournament at the WWE Crown Jewel event. This came after Angle eliminated Baron Corbin while wearing a mask.
So where is the storyline between Angle and Corbin heading? Let’s speculate a little bit here.
Let’s Start With WWE Crown Jewel
My early guess is that we are going to see Corbin cost Angle his match at WWE Crown Jewel. This will be playing off the storyline of Angle costing Corbin his spot in the tournament. Corbin will return the favor in Saudi Arabia by causing a distraction, which leads to Angle losing.
WWE Survivor Series
After that happens at Crown Jewel, I am thinking that Angle will come back to RAW and demand his job back from Stephanie McMahon. This will lead to Stephanie making Team Corbin vs Team Angle at Survivor Series. The winning team captain gets full control over Monday Night RAW. This is a match that has been rumored for a few weeks now.
I think that it would be a lot of fun. I personally would rather see an elimination match with more people involved instead of a singles match between Angle and Corbin. Corbin would likely recruit AOP and some other heels to be on his squad. Angle could recruit some of RAW’s top babyfaces to stand beside him. This would make the episodes prior to Survivor Series a lot more fun, with both Angle and Corbin recruiting for their teams.
I think that Team Angle will prevail, allowing Angle to keep his job as RAW General Manager. Constable Corbin has been a solid gimmick but I am not sure how long the shelf life is.
That’s how I see it going, what about you? Let me know in the comment section below.
