5 Absurd Ways Constable Baron Corbin Can Abuse His Power

Last month, Baron Corbin surprised everybody when he revealed that he was the Constable of Raw. He was now Stephanie McMahon's acting representative on Raw. The week after the news broke, Corbin was walking around as a changed man. His head was shaved. He was wearing expensive looking clothes. Real fancy clothes, too.

This unexpected power gave the Lone Wolf a new edge. He was mean, angry, and hateful, but now he could bend the rules to get to you if he wanted to.

Since he is acting as Stephanie McMahon's representative, you'd have to imagine he has at least some sort of power, especially over General Manager Kurt Angle. After all, being handpicked by a McMahon has to give you some sort of special privileges.

But has Corbin been using his power wisely? So far, no, he hasn't. Here are some ways he could use his power to further his career.

#5 Make Himself the Number One Contender for the Universal Championship

Surely Corbin has the authority to go over Kurt Angle's head and do this, right? Before Angle had announced the two triple threats last Monday, Baron could have very easily announced that he would be in a number one contender's match against Mike Kanellis, Zack Ryder, No Way Jose, and Curt Hawkins. This would have been a very easy way to secure the number one contender spot against Universal Champion Brock Lesnar.

But why even compete at all? He could have very easily named himself as the number one contender. He should have the power to do that; after all, he is Stephanie McMahon's representative.

#4 Make Himself the Universal Champion

If Corbin could name himself number one contender, why stop there? Why settle for number one contender? That means he'd still have to face Brock Lesnar in a title match, and nobody survives Brock Lesnar. Surely Corbin is smart enough to know that.

Since Kurt Angle was clearly so willing to strip Lesnar of the Universal Championship for refusing to defend it, Corbin should have gone ahead and done just that. Boom, the Lesnar issue is solved, and Raw will once again have a full-time top champion.

Corbin could then announce that six men will face each other in a six-pack challenge for the vacant title: himself, Zack Ryder, Mike Kanellis, Curt Hawkins, No Way Jose, and Sunil Singh. That is an easy win for the Constable.

Or he could straight up declare that he is the new Universal Champion.

#3 Fight Kurt Angle for the General Manager Spot

If the Constable thinks he has what it takes, he could go after Kurt Angle and his job. I guess that General Manager is a step down from "handpicked McMahon representative", but Angle is the only obstacle in his way. With Kurt out of the picture, Corbin could rule Monday Night Raw as he saw fit.

This, however, carries its own risks as well. Should Corbin lose, he could be fired as the Constable, and maybe as a Raw superstar. Maybe even as a WWE superstar entirely. He could lose his whole job should this power play go south.

But if Corbin thinks he can hang with an Angle who is a shadow of himself, then he should totally go for it.

#2 Get Rid of His Competition

If Baron is still Constable by the time the Superstar Shakeup rolls around, then he could totally use his power as the Constable to get rid of his competition. He would have to do all these deals behind Kurt Angle's back, of course, but once the trades are made there's nothing that Kurt can do about it,

Corbin could easily exchange Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, Finn Balor, Bobby Lashley, and Braun Strowman for Sin Cara, R-Truth, Tye Dillinger, Shelton Benjamin, and Aiden English. This would create a power vacuum in Raw's main event scene, and Corbin could very easily step up and become the top dog of Monday nights.

#1 Make His Own Championship

If Corbin wants to become a champion, it's as easy as having someone design a belt. He could very easily force Kurt Angle to recognize the validity of the new championship. Boom, Corbin is a champion.

He could then choose to simply never defend it ever. He'd be the longest reigning champion of all time. But if he wanted to make himself seem even better, he'd defend his title against local jobbers or lower card guys who don't actually stand a chance of beating him.

It would be so easy for Baron to say "I've held my championship for 7 months and defended it 18 times!" even though 16 of those defenses were against local competitors and two of them were against No Way Jose.

Imagine all the things Corbin could do if he just got a little bit more creative.
