Heath Slater and Baron Corbin’s Twitter Exchange Over Rhyno Getting Fired On Monday Night Raw

Heath Slater says it’s all Baron Corbin’s fault that Rhyno is no longer a member of the Raw roster.

Informing Slater and Rhyno that cuts would be needed, the “General Manager-Elect” scheduled a match pitting the former SmackDown Tag Team Champions against one another on Monday Night Raw. Slater, unable to risk losing everything that he’s built for his family in recent years, defeated his friend to force the veteran wrestler to leave Raw.

Following the match, Corbin informed Slater backstage that he was being reassigned as a referee.

Corbin took to Twitter on Tuesday to blame Slater for Rhyno being out of a job when he could have just quit.

A lot of people are blaming me for @Rhyno313 being out of a job. If you want to blame someone blame @HeathSlaterOMRB he is the one who beat him. He could have just quit. That’s what a real friend would have done. #RAW

Slater, however, feels it’s all Corbin’s fault.

It’s all your fault. I know it, The @WWEUniverse knows it, and you know it. I didn’t want this to happen. But when you put my back up against the wall. I will fight back no matter what. #igotkids @WWE I’m so sorry @Rhyno313 https://t.co/frH43uIf16

Corbin’s response:

My fault, I simply gave you a choice and you made it. And you talk about fighting, well I told you those days are done! It’s Ref Slater now. I hope you can count to 3 https://t.co/RPxIYQbURV

Corbin also said that Slater can aspire to be like former WWE referee Tim White.

Yes he does Tim White is someone he can aspire to be. Good thing he can work with guys like @WWERobinson and John Cone
