Oklahoma City, OK – The WWE Universe erupted in joy and excitement during last week’s Smackdown when former United States Champion winner Baron Corbin made his triumphant return.
Corbin’s surprise appearance, laying waste to Carmelo Hayes and Trick Williams, has sparked renewed interest in WWE. Lackluster premium live events, stagnant storylines, and expensive ticket prices have dampened the company’s popularity over the past year.
Fans have responded positively to the Superstar’s reappearance on Friday night.
“Y’know, I was just about to give up on WWE,” shrugged longtime fan Paul Maszecowski. “But seeing Baron Corbin back on my TV has given life meaning again.”
“Oh my gosh!” squealed Marissa Bruggard. “Just think of all the possibilities! We can get ‘Lone Wolf’ Corbin! King Corbin! Constable Corbin! Happy Corbin! The sky’s the limit!”
“Who needs Sheamus, Aleister Black, or Kofi Kingston when you’ve got Baron Corbin?” asked a giddy Paolo Silvestro.
Pure joy was felt throughout the entire WWE Universe, which officials expect will carry throughout the summer.
Despite a shaky history of moving the needle, TKO executives are confident that Corbin’s return will be the spark WWE needs. If all goes well, TKO also has plans to reunite the former King of the Ring with his old buddy Madcap Moss.
