New Authority Figure Announced On Monday Night Raw

One more boss can’t be a bad thing. Back in 1997, Vince McMahon became the kind of all authority figures in wrestling, turning from the old school announcer to the evil Mr. McMahon. This turned into one of the longest running tropes in wrestling: the evil authority figure. Since then, they’ve come and gone month in and month out, with Stephanie McMahon currently as the heel boss in abstentia. However, she now may have someone there to get her rules enforced.

Check out this week’s full Monday Night Raw results right here to see how we got here.

This week on Monday Night Raw, Baron Corbin interrupted a Curt Hawkins match and cost him his chance to end his 199 match losing streak. After, Corbin informed General Manager Kurt Angle that Commissioner Stephanie McMahon had named him the new Constable of Monday Night Raw. Therefore, Corbin is now in charge of keeping things orderly on the show, which he did later on when he ordered Angle to overturn a questionable decision in a six woman tag.

Meet the new boss. Very different than the old boss.

Baron Corbin is the "Constable" of Monday Night Raw: Raw, June 4, 2018

Opinion: The more I think about this, the more I like it. Corbin has nothing going on right now and having him as the enforcer of the absent McMahon is a good idea. If nothing else it could give Corbin the push that he needs somewhere down the line. Maybe this leads to Corbin vs. Angle at some point, but at the moment we’re just going to get something from Corbin on his own and that’s a good idea, especially considering how underused he’s been in recent months.

Do you like this move? Where will it lead for Corbin? Let us know in the comments below.
