WWE Superstar Baron Corbin was drafted over to the RAW brand on the first night of the 2018 WWE Superstar Shakeup, and it appears as though WWE has big plans for him on RAW.
It had been reported last week that Vince McMahon was high on Corbin, and considered him to be a main event level talent. With him being moved over to RAW last night, it appears as though a big push is line for him. Dave Meltzer discussed Baron Corbin’s move to RAW on the latest episode of Wrestling Observer Radio, regarding Corbin Meltzer says:
“Baron Corbin is there for a big push, at least that’s the theory.”
Meltzer goes on to elaborate further as to why he feels that Corbin is line for a big push ahead of some of the other moves seen last night, like Drew McIntyre. Regarding both Drew McIntyre, and Baron Corbin’s additions to the RAW roster last night, Meltzer said:
“What’s the deal? It’s one thing I cannot figure out. [Drew McIntyre’s] younger than Corbin. Vince loves Baron Corbin — he did love McIntyre originally and then he soured on him years and years ago. But it’s like when you put McIntyre and Corbin together it’s like one’s just boring but it seems like Corbin is the one they’re high on as a big main event singles guy. Corbin being moved over is to be a top guy and I didn’t sense putting McIntyre with Ziggler is gonna be a top guy spot.”
