4. Will Strowman pick up the win, or are in for a swerve?

For someone scheduled to fight the Monster Among Men in a singles match, Baron Corbin is eerily confident. A major reason is that he believes Strowman will not be able to show up at TLC after suffering a beat down at the hands of McIntyre, Lashley and Corbin. He would thereby win the match by forfeit and become permanent General Manager of Raw.

But we know that Strowman is going to show up. But as we get closer and closer to TLC, I am wondering if Strowman will win the match against Corbin. For once, if he does, it simply shuts off the whole Corbin character then and there. Where does he go from there? Secondly, a storyline development seems to be in the works between Rollins and Corbin. The former is most likely to lose his IC title to Dean Ambrose. He can remain over with the fans by going up against an evil authority system.

Lastly, should Strowman face Lesnar for the Universal title at the Royal Rumble, what should we expect? Will the Beast Incarnate derail Strowman’s momentum once more? Or will the Monster Among Men finally capture glory? With so much uncertainty lying in the distance, in the event of Strowman winning, I am intrigued to think if Corbin would weasel his way through to a win somehow. What if McIntyre or Lashley decide to interfere in the match to assist Corbin?

A simple angle like that can still make Strowman look good in defeat, while placing immense heat on the Lonewolf. Imagine McIntyre being promised a shot at the Universal title in exchange for his assist.
