Major Superstar is Unhappy With WWE’s Storyline

WWE Superstar Baron Corbin has been a consistent heel in SmackDown for a while now. King Corbin has played to his strengths as a villain and has been at the forefront of many feuds.

Recently, with Matt Riddle being promoted to the main roster, he has shown great potential to become a top tier performer. Corbin is reportedly unhappy with the scheduled feud between him and the new Superstar. 

In an exclusive interview with Gary Cassidy, Corbin revealed his dissatisfaction with the plans the creative team had for him.

Did WWE Superstar Matt Riddle come up too fast?

Corbin felt that Riddle was ascending through the ranks too fast. This may in fact be true, seeing as to how Riddle beat AJ Styles, the Intercontinental Champion on his debut in SmackDown.

Usually, new talent is subject to a harsh string of losses, to judge how good they can carry themselves with the fans. Through the preliminary matches (what Corbin called enhancement matches), the fans are primed for the Superstar.

After the enhancement matches, the new performer is thrown into a feud with a top-billed superstar.

Matt Riddle has skipped most of the steps that new talent usually undergoes, before stepping up to a major storyline. Corbin was not happy about this.

To add insult to injury, Corbin was also told about this new storyline very recently, whereas Riddle’s SmackDown debut was scheduled quite a while back.

Riddle and Corbin do have a history together. Corbin eliminated Riddle in the most recent Royal Rumble and in the Survivor Series matchup.

Both these events happened when Riddle was still in NXT. So, the foundation for the two to be in a storyline is already set.
