Monday Night RAW this week featured a match between ‘Constable’ Baron Corbin and Finn Balor. Corbin ended up winning the match after hitting the ‘End of Days’ on Balor.
There is some speculation making the rounds about why WWE had Corbin defeat Balor clean. This speculation comes from Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio (subscribe here).
Meltzer believes that Corbin’s win is a set-up for a match with Roman Reigns. Here is a quote (via Sportskeeda)
“Well, this is a setup. I think this is pretty clear from watching the show…It looked to me like they’re going to do a TV match with Roman Reigns beating Baron Corbin. You know, maybe next week or the week after.”
“So, to do that, they wanted to heat up Corbin. And Finn Balor was the “setup guy”…Baron Corbin is probably going to be wrestling Roman Reigns. So, this one makes sense”
This is only speculation but makes sense, especially after Reigns slapped Corbin as he was getting escorted out of the building. Sure seems like we will be seeing Reigns vs Corbin pretty soon.
How do you feel about that?
