– Justin Barraso of Sports Illustrated recently appeared on Wednesday’s edition of the Wrestling Inc. podcast, and he claimed that John Cena was the one that ended Baron Corbin’s push. It had been rumored that Corbin had heat on him for comments made on social media (including negative comments to a military veteran). Corbin lost his MITB briefcase and then lost to John Cena at WWE Summerslam. Here is what Barraso had to say…

“I heard the kiss of death was Cena. [Cena said] that Corbin wasn’t ready. I can’t say anymore right now, that’s kind of what I’m trying to work on as we speak. “I haven’t heard about the social media. I mean, he’s a heel right? So he should play one on social media. I don’t think that was the issue, but then again they kind of pick and choose who they defend in those cases, Raj. I don’t know, but right now, I don’t think that’s [social media] the reason.”
