Man I loved that segment, gave so many possibilities too
1) let Corbin and AJ form an HBK/Diesel style relationship, naturally, step by step (similar to the formation of DX which went on for a few weeks til they were REALLY a team)
2) the way Cena is treated, why not give him the nickname The Franchise? Yeah Shane Douglas had it when he was in the limelight 20 years ago, but who cares in 2017

Cena was calling himself 'the franchise' in 2004 going into his first WrestleMania with the Big Show. And again the next year when he won his first world title. It's even a lyric in his theme song. But yeah, why not ramp that up again now he literally is.

I still think Corbin was brought up a bit too early and could have used a dominant top heel run in NXT, but he has really been steadily improving.

They're trying a bit too hard with Corbin, and it makes me like him a lot less.
He literally stood over Cena and yelled after AJ kicked him, and the announcers were like "What a big impact Corbin just made, he's single handedly dominating Smackdown. He's the future!!!"
like...what? ALL HE DID WAS STAND OVER A GUY WHO GOT KICKED BY ANOTHER GUY, AND YELL...
its so off-putting

They take guys from 0 to 100 with no build and just expect fans to go along with it. |

Just let him do him, we'll catch on.. it kinda waters him down and makes everything seem super forced, and lord knows that's a recipe for disaster |

Corbin had a great stead build , dominating the midcard. Just the announcers shilled too hard. |

I've been expecting a Cena/Corbin feud for a couple months now. Corbin's whole cocky rooky with a chip on his shoulder character is simply too good of a foil for Cena as the part time veteran who is still respected by everyone. And Cena actually has been putting younger stars over, at least kind of, in the last couple years.
