Baron Corbin has the chance to become the full-time RAW General Manager at the upcoming TLC PPV. All he has to do is defeat Braun Strowman, who just had surgery done on his elbow. If Strowman wins the match though, Corbin loses all of his power on RAW.
So what is going to happen with this storyline? Let’s speculate a little bit.
The most interesting part of this storyline has to do with Alexa Bliss. For those who skipped RAW, Corbin put Alexa in charge of the entire Women’s division on the red brand. She is essentially now serving as his assistant General Manager.
There was a rumor a few weeks ago that suggested WWE discussed having Alexa replace Corbin as the General Manager of RAW. Now, Alexa’s foot seems to be in the door for this to happen.
Here’s my theory on what will happen:
A pissed off Strowman returns at TLC and defeats Corbin in under a minute. With Strowman recently having (legitimate) surgery done, I would be shocked if this match goes longer than a minute.
After TLC, Alexa is appointed as the new full-time RAW General Manager. This keeps her in a weekly role on WWE television as she deals with her current injury situation. I think that Alexa will also end up re-hiring Corbin as her assistant General Manager (since Corbin hired her). That way, Corbin is not the full-time General Manager but gets to keep his current gimmick as ‘Constable’.
That leaves us with Alexa as the full-time RAW General Manager. Corbin would be Alexa’s assistant on RAW. Strowman also gets his match at the Royal Rumble against Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship (since he defeated Corbin).
That is how I see it playing out. What about you? Let me know in the comment section below.
On a related note, here is who we think have the best chances to win the Royal Rumble match this year.
