There is apparently more to the stories of backstage heat with Baron Corbin and it turns out that John Cena was the person who made the decision that Corbin was “not ready” to be in the mix as a headliner. Sports Illustrated’s Justin Barrasso was able to get some details on what happened.
“I heard the kiss of death was Cena,” Barrasso said on the Wrestling Inc. podcast. He added, “[Cena said] that Corbin wasn’t ready. I can’t say anymore right now, that’s kind of what I’m trying to work on as we speak.”
There were issues before Cena. As noted earlier, Corbin’s Twitter exchange with a WWE Superstar and a military veteran (click here to see what Corbin said) did not do him any favors. He is lucky that Vince McMahon sees him as a big star and it looks like he will be slotted as AJ Styles next opponent for the U.S. title.
