*Commercial Break*
We return and out comes No Way Jose, followed by his conga line. Baron Corbin is out second and he has a mic. Corbin says he sees through Jose’s plan, his conga line clearly is set-up to ambush him as he grinds him into the mat. He says he came to Raw to be a Champion but Jose is clearly not on his level. So tonight, he says no way, Jose. Corbin leaves but Jose grabs a mic and says just because Corbin didn’t want to have fun, doesn’t mean everywhere else can’t. His music starts again and they dance around ringside. God, I hate gimmicks like this, they have such a short shelf life and they’re not entertaining. Jose dances with his line all the way up the ramp and then Baron Corbin comes running out and attacks Jose. Corbin throws Jose into the LED wall and stomps on Jose before delivering a chokeslam backbreaker. Thank you Corbin for that mercy kill.
