WWE SmackDown Live Winners and Losers: All About Shane McMahon
By Bryan Heaton
Winner: Sin Cara
Talk about words you never expect to write down, but there’s no doubt Sin Cara is on one heck of a tear lately. The guy went from literally being invisible for what seemed like months before reemerging two weeks ago to face – and beat – Baron Corbin. And now he’s a borderline psycho with anger issues?

But this week, Sin Cara went up against Corbin for the third time. He was 2-0 against the United States Champion after victories via count out and disqualification. Since Corbin was DQed a week ago for excessive punishment, Sin Cara demanded a rematch for retribution.
Throughout the match, The Lone Wolf kept going after the mask, which set off a fire in the luchador that I don’t think I’ve seen from him ever. This time, it was Corbin who won via DQ, but the bigger story is the rage within the faceless superstar.
One would have to assume that Sin Cara is close to earning a match against Corbin with the US Title on the line. I don’t think he’s at the point where he’ll win the championship, but you never know. Rumors are that Sin Cara has recently re-upped with WWE, and this series of matches is indicative of a push for him.
