WWE Rumor Roundup - Popular name confirms exit, Superstar fined for unprofessional conduct, Becky Lynch's future - 14 February 2020

#7. King Corbin fined and barred from wrestling on SmackDown this week

In what is surely a work, WWE announced that King Corbin had been heavily fined and barred from wrestling on the most recent episode of SmackDown due to unprofessional conduct.

Per WWE Management, due to unprofessional conduct displayed by WWE Superstar King Corbin last Friday night on #SmackDown, King Corbin has received a heavy fine and has been barred from competing on SmackDown this week.

On last week's SmackDown, Corbin snatched a fan's drink and poured it all over their head, which prompted WWE to punish the Superstar.

Of course, the incident seems to be a work to write Corbin off TV for a week. In case you didn't know, the fan was revealed to be All Pro Wrestling promoter, Markus Mac.

#6. Becky Lynch could go on a short hiatus after WrestleMania 36

Becky Lynch is expected to defend the RAW Women's Championship against Shayna Baszler at WrestleMania 36 and there is a good chance that The Man drops the title to The Queen of Spades.

Sportskeeda's Tom Colohue told Korey Gunz on the latest edition of the Dropkick DiSKussons podcast that he's heard talk of Lynch possibly going on a break after 'Mania.

It was also noted that the company would have to put the title on Baszler if they wish to make the former NXT Women's Champion a credible talent on RAW.

Here's what Tom had to say:

What we know is that it’s not going to be the main event. So it’s not the send-people-happy-home moment. She doesn’t need to win and she doesn’t really lose anything in a loss. And yeah, there are rumors now that both her and Seth may take some time away after WrestleMania to recharge, maybe go and get married, and to let the fans breathe a little bit because absence does make the heart grow fonder.

So we’ll see if that happens, that is only what I hear though it’s nothing concrete at the moment, I want to make that very clear. But it is what I’m starting to hear, so it would make sense for Becky to lose the title at WrestleMania and I think Baszler will make a really good heel champion because there are a lot of faces on RAW at the minute, and there are a lot of people that can be built up by challenging Shayna Baszler.
