#3 Put Chad Gable over once again

While many fans were thrilled to see Baron Corbin become the King of the Ring on Monday Night, they were also disheartened to see the fast-rising babyface Chad Gable come so close to a title many thought he shouldn’t even be competing for.

Just 24 hours after his victory, Corbin arrived on SmackDown for his King of the Ring coronation ceremony. Corbin called Gable to the ring and proceeded to make short jokes at the expense of the 2012 Olympian.

This didn’t work with the KOTR runner-up who decided to ruin to proceedings in return and tore the cape before assaulting Corbin with his newly won scepter and stomping the crown.

The creatives managed to hit the nail on the head with this one as not only have they given us a King who will rub his title in our faces for months to come but also gave Gable more spotlight even after his loss in the finals.

If the two compete on the upcoming RAW or the pre-show of Hell in a Cell then not only will the match give Gable more exposure, and possibly a victory, but also bring more heat towards an already despicable Corbin.
