Baron Corbin Calls Shane McMahon’s World Cup Win ‘Tainted’ (VIDEO); Becky Lynch Wants Equal Billing At Survivor Series

Baron Corbin Calls Shane McMahon’s World Cup Win ‘Tainted’ (VIDEO)

RAW GM Baron Corbin involved himself in the Crown Jewel Universal Championship match when he struck Braun Strowman with the Universal Championship before the bell rang. The cheap shot enabled Brock Lesnar to gain an early advantage, on his way to winning the Universal Championship.

When Byron Saxton asked Baron Corbin about his Crown Jewel antics, Corbin replied,

“My actions? Look at Brock Lesnar’s actions. He went out there and he destroyed his competition. He is The Beast. I’m looking to solidify the future of Monday Night RAW and Brock Lesnar is gonna solidify the future of Monday Night RAW. He is a Superstar among Superstars. He is gonna carry this brand for who knows how long.”

While Corbin didn’t object to his own interference at Crown Jewel, he certainly took issue with Shane McMahon inserting himself into the Crown Jewel tournament,

“Let’s talk about what happened in the World Cup Tournament. Shane McMahon is the commisioner of SmackDown Live and he inserted himself into a match he had no business being in. His opponent hurt his ankle and should be out. The Miz was done and could not compete. Dolph Ziggler should be the winner. That was a poor display of sportsmanship by McMahon and The Miz taking a cheap shot before the bell. As far as I can see the cup that Shane McMahon is now carrying around for SmackDown Live is tainted. He didn’t earn it. He didn’t qualify for his spot. I threw an opponent out of the World Cup Tournament for not qualifying and he thinks he can just go out there and do that? It’s a joke. Shane McMahon is a joke. I hope to see him in the future.”

Becky Lynch Wants Equal Billing At Survivor Series

SmackDown Women’s Champion Becky Lynch wants equal billing at this year’s Survivor Series and apparently won’t settle for anything less when it comes to her upcoming champion vs champion match against Ronda Rousey.

In a veiled reference to Lynch’s rival Charlotte Flair, Lynch labeled RAW Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey ‘golden girl number 2’ and promised to take it out on Rousey at Survivor Series:

Put me shoulder to shoulder and make me equal billing or I’m going to take it out on golden girl number two come Survivor Series #iamtheman https://t.co/tL0MmUNNNN
