What About Baron Corbin?

There have been a lot of changes on the roster just this month. You have had returns, debuts from NXT, and the trades recently. With that has come some questionable pushes and the failure to push some people properly that might deserve it. I want to talk about another person being underutilized today.

Just a month ago, Baron Corbin was involved in a feud for the Intercontinental Championship with Dean Ambrose. I would have had him win the title at Wrestlemania. That didn't happen. Okay, no problem, just let the feud continue and he will eventually win it. The feud did continue, but then Dean Ambrose got sent to Raw and Baron Corbin lost any opportunity to get the title.

I don't think he can be the next face of the company, but he can be a solid midcarder right now. Midcarders can really help the WWE right now. The answer isn't to bring back guys like Shelton Benjamin and take guys from Impact Wrestling. There are midcarders on the roster now that can be used much better. Baron Corbin is one of them.

He is higher on the ladder than Jinder Mahal, but he was not even in that match last week to decide a new #1 contender. Not only would I have put him in, but if the WWE wants to give a big push to a new guy so much, it should have been in. Instead, he has just been a supporting player in recent weeks in the feud between AJ Styles and Kevin Owens.

The WWE just seems to be in one of those periods where midcarders are not doing well in the midcard. Kevin Owens, a former Universal Champion, is holding one midcard title. He won it from a guy with some World titles to his name, Chris Jericho. Jericho won it from Roman Reigns, a former WWE Champion. AJ Styles, a former WWE Champion, is feuding with Owens now. With the other midcard title, Dean Ambrose, Miz, and Dolph Ziggler are the only really relevant names in recent months. It might be time to let the pure midcarders shine again.
