The feud between Roman Reigns and King Corbin has been going on for a few weeks now. Two weeks ago, Corbin and Dolph Ziggler tied up Roman to the ring post and dumped dog food on him.
We have an interesting rumor to pass your way about this storyline.
Going back to the dog food segment, you might remember that there was somebody under the ring who was holding on to the leg of Roman. This allowed Corbin to tie Roman up and dump the dog food on him. WWE never ended up revealing who was under the ring and holding Roman’s leg.
The rumor going around is that it was Drake Maverick. This is because Maverick has been working as Corbin’s manager at WWE live events as of late. Here is what Dave Meltzer had to say on Wrestling Observer Radio (via Ringside News):
“If you remember not on this Friday, but the last Friday’s show when the Roman Reigns beat-down there was a guy from under the ring that grabbed his leg and that kinda helped tie him up in the corner when they tied dog food on him. I presume that was Drake Maverick — I don’t know, but I do know that they were already advertising Drake Maverick in January shows. You know, it’s Baron Corbin and Drake Maverick.”
My Take: This would actually make a lot of sense. I wouldn’t be surprised to see this footage revealed on an upcoming episode of Smackdown.
