In this article, let’s discuss three reasons why Triple H didn’t put the US Title on Corbin in this rematch.
#3. To solidify Trick Williams’ reign
Trick Williams defeating Baron Corbin on SmackDown could be an attempt by the creative team to solidify Williams’ title reign. Baron Corbin is a former United States Champion, and he dethroned Trick a few weeks ago.
Now that the 32-year-old star has defeated The Lone Wolf, it proves that Trick is stronger this time and won’t let the title slip from his hands anytime soon. This could be why WWE didn’t put the championship on Baron Corbin.
#2. Trick Williams couldn’t afford to take a loss heading into Money in the Bank
Trick Williams is set to be part of this year’s Money in the Bank traditional ladder match. The United States Champion won a qualifier match to secure his spot. Losing the mid-card championship just before the ladder match would impact his momentum and derail his chances of winning the MITB briefcase.
As Trick couldn’t afford to take a loss ahead of the Money in the Bank ladder match, this resulted in WWE booking Baron Corbin to lose this match and not put the US Title on his shoulders again.
#1. Baron Corbin moving on from the WWE US Title scene
Since The Lone Wolf returned to WWE, he has primarily been part of the United States Championship picture. Upon his comeback, Corbin attacked Trick Williams and started this mid-card title feud.
Since then, he has been stuck in this rivalry, and the Stamford-based promotion hasn’t explored any other feud for the 42-year-old star. Not putting the US Title on Baron Corbin could be a way to move him away from the mid-card title picture.
After losing to Trick Williams on SmackDown, WWE can book the former Constable of RAW in a fresh direction and give him new feuds. So, this could be why Triple H didn’t put the United States Championship on Baron Corbin in this recent rematch on the blue brand.
