Most Likely Backlash Heel/Face Turns 🎭
Bleacher Report's James Moffat and Ryan Dilbert provided their thoughts on the match:
Corbin made his WWE main roster debut by winning the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal at WrestleMania, and he took aim at The Showoff shortly thereafter, which set into motion what is now the longest-running feud in the company.
Ziggler upset Corbin with a roll-up in their match on the Payback Kickoff Show, but Corbin got retribution at Extreme Rules when he defeated Ziggler in a No Disqualification match by virtue of a low blow.
Corbin showed no remorse for his tactics after Extreme Rules, and he essentially taunted the former multitime world champion on Twitter:
An embarrassed Showoff aimed to get one over on Corbin after that, so he challenged him to a technical wrestling exhibition on the basis that he could beat the former NFL offensive lineman soundly due to his background as an elite amateur wrestler at Kent State.
That turned out to be a ruse, as Ziggler instead countered with a low blow of his own by kicking Corbin below the belt, thus setting up another meeting between them at Money in the Bank with tension and emotion running high for both competitors.
While it is difficult to predict where Ziggler and Corbin will go from here, it is a safe bet that Sunday night marked the conclusion of their angle.
There isn't much left for them to do against one another, and with the brand split on the horizon, it should act as a virtual reset and provide both Superstars with a clearer picture of where they stand on the main roster in the grand scheme of things.
The overarching expectation for Corbin when he got called up from NXT was that he would steamroll the competition and quickly be utilized as one of WWE's top heels.
He did that initially by winning at WrestleMania, and he has had some dominant performances along the way. His feud with Ziggler was fairly even, but after beating him once and for all at Money in the Bank, he has momentum on his side as he embarks on bigger and better angles.
Ziggler is among WWE's best and most reliable veterans. He is always ready and willing to put over younger talent despite deserving a higher spot on the card in his own right, but after losing again to Corbin, there isn't a ton of hope for him to get back to being a top guy.
WWE has pushed the idea of the "New Era" in recent weeks, and while it can be argued that Ziggler is the one more deserving of a push, Corbin's victory goes hand-in-hand with the company's new philosophy.
