With Baron Corbin having been Raw’s main authority figure for months now, going so far as to adopt the nickname ‘Constable’ Corbin, he appears to have secured a top position helping Stephanie McMahon run the red brand.
WrestleMania Bound
That could all change after his match up against Braun Strowman at December’s TLC event.
The stipulation for their confrontation is simple: if Strowman wins, he receives a Universal Championship match against Brock Lesnar. If Corbin wins, his position as Raw General Manager becomes permanent.
It’s predicated that Strowman will be getting his hand raised in order to feud with Lesnar into WrestleMania. If that’s the case, the immediate question becomes: who will replace Corbin as Raw GM?
Lil’ Miss.
According to Mike Johnson of PWInsiderElite, it could be none other than Lil’ Miss Bliss, Alexa Bliss.
Johnson states that Bliss went through medical testing whilst out in Los Angeles, highlighting there was “no clearcut indication that she was returning to the ring anytime soon.”
He clarified his statement, adding, “it doesn’t mean that it’s not going to happen. […] to the best of my knowledge, it’s not a Paige situation where she’s been permanently sat out, but it did seem like, ‘Ok in two weeks you’re going to be good to go, or in three weeks you’re going to be good to go.”
“[…] They’ll probably still keep testing her,” he said. “There was some expectation backstage at Raw that, when they come out of TLC, Alexa Bliss will probably end up the General Manager of Raw, which makes sense when you think about it. But given how they change ideas so quickly I don’t know that’s definitely 100% the plan.”
