Baron Corbin is in a lot of trouble. He needs money, but his finances have been dwindling since he lost the title of King of WWE. Now he is turning to fans for help. He only needs $100,000, and Corbin is convinced that fans can help him achieve that number.
Click here for our complete coverage of WWE Friday Night SmackDown from this week.
Corbin Fund Me is a real website, but he’s not really taking donations. It is set up to look like a GoFundMe page, but don’t worry about WWE taking more money from fans. There is nothing set up on that website to take a dime from anyone. They didn’t even set up advertisements, so the company isn’t making money from clicks either.
The Corbin GoFundMe page is simply an image, the same one that they showed on SmackDown this week. He asked fans to donate $100k to him to draw heat. We’ll have to see if they update that image to show more money raised, but there is no actual fund raising going on. This was just a bit for the show.
Some fans got upset thinking that Corbin is taking money, but that isn’t the case. He is a heel so getting mad at him might be what the company wants. You don’t have to worry about someone dropping their life savings to bail out the Lone Wolf, because that’s not happening.
WWE registered a trademark for “Happy Corbin,” so we’ll have to see what becomes of that. Right now, Baron Corbin seems pretty sad as he continues to be strapped for cash.
What’s your take on this new character direction for Corbin? Sound off in the comments!
