5 reasons why Baron Corbin will win at WrestleMania

5. Can’t lose if you don’t fight

You can’t lose a fight you were never in.

While this doesn’t technically count as a win, anytime you’re not picking up an L can be considered a minor victory, and there’s no way Baron Corbin is actually Kurt Angle’s opponent in his final match. John Cena, one of Kurt’s oldest rivals, is just going to sit back in catering while Corbin faces Angle, the man Cena made his television debut against, in Angle’s final match, on wrestling’s biggest stage? No way. There are better odds Corbin gets disposed of off-camera like a tertiary Game of Thrones character than there are of him actually participating in this match instead of Cena.

Corbin may get his theme played. He may have an entrance. He may even make it to the ring. But there’s zero chance he actually wrestles Angle. The WWE, for all their faults, have some wrestling-business smart folks in operations, and it seems unfathomable that they’d let this match happen, understanding how it’d be received. Without being too harsh, people didn’t buy WrestleMania tickets to see this version of Corbin wrestle this version of Angle.

Angle needs someone that can help him put on a good match and ride off in the distance with his head held high. He deserves it and the fans deserve it. Corbin isn’t that guy, but hopefully someone in the back, without a current dance partner, with a long history with Angle, and a streak of ruthless aggression is.

Baron Corbin will not lose at WrestleMania, he can’t. It’s impossible.
