Baron Corbin Hurts His Knee
This was the strangest part of Smackdown. Baron Corbin says that he will not compete in the main event of Smackdown, which makes Shane McMahon pull him from the Survivor Series match. Instead, he faces Kalisto and throws him all around the ring and to the outside. He “slips” and “hurts” his knee. Kalisto attacks him and targets the knee, which causes the match to be a No Contest.
Taking Baron out of the match was odd and not really logical to me. I was confused why they would make a change with only one week apart from the addition. If he was really hurt, I will understand more. It did not seem like it, especially when Kalisto went and attacked his knee after the slip. So, make your own conclusion. Did WWE realize that the Survivor Series match needed someone that would raise eyebrows? Are they not sold on Baron Corbin? I have more questions than answers regarding “The Lone Wolf.”
