Baron Corbin losing out on a Money in the Bank return may well end up being the worst thing that happened to No Way Jose: With Bobby Roode nowhere to be found, The Lone Wolf instead set his sights on the third Superstar from last week’s ill-fated qualifier, taking out his frustration in excessive fashion on The Dominican Dancing Machine. It didn’t help that Jose continues prioritize having fun, which brought out Corbin’s inner killjoy on top of everything else.
Jose did not go quietly, building nicely on the aggression he displayed last week with a strong opening flurry and an impressive rally down the stretch after Corbin had done some damage. But Corbin would not be denied, thwarting Jose’s wind-up punch and earning the win with a one-two combo of the Deep Six and End of Days.
