A disheveled Baron Corbin cut an in-ring promo this week on WWE Friday Night SmackDown to talk about his recent hardships.
Corbin said he was starting an online fundraiser and he was looking to raise $100,000 so he could save his home from foreclosure. It was a pure heel promo with no signs of a babyface turn because he insulted the crowd as he talked about wanting to prevent himself from moving into his in-law’s house.
Kevin Owens interrupted the segment and hit Corbin with the stunner. For those of you wondering, there is actually a Corbin fundraiser set up at Corbinfund.com but it is not possible to make donations because the page is “under construction.”
This storyline appears to be heading towards repackaging Corbin as “Happy Corbin,” since WWE trademarked that phrase a couple of weeks ago.
