#2 Worst: Teaming Corbin and McIntyre again

McIntyre does not need the stench of Corbin upon him

It made sense for Corbin to have McIntyre as an ally back when he was acting General Manager. He surrounded himself with some muscle to keep Braun Strowman at bay back then. But I don't like the idea of teaming Corbin with McIntyre at the current juncture.

McIntyre is guaranteed to be a Universal Champion down the line and has been on a tear ever since his return. But being a sidekick to Corbin will only bog him down, I feel. If anything, McIntyre needs to adopt the lone wolf gimmick that Baron Corbin was once known for.

I did not even like how easily Corbin beat Kurt Angle, who's been on a losing streak suffering one embarrassing defeat after another, to put younger talent over. The decision was right, but it reminds us how far Angle as fallen as a performer these days.
