Las Vegas is a special place for WWE superstar Happy Corbin; it's where he recaptured his fortune, regained his dignity, and cashed in his old name and disheveled looks for a much “Happier” demeanor and some Gucci threads.

So naturally, when news broke that Money in the Bank was booked for Vince Vaughn‘s favorite city, you just had to know that Corbin, the human personification of Vaughn's character Trent Walker from the 1996 movie Swingers, would find a way to get on the show one way or another. Fortunately, that opportunity came on the go-home episode of SmackDown, as, with one spot left in the Men's Money in the Bank Ladder Match, Corbin and many of his WWE cohorts were inserted into an impromptu Battle Royal to… actually, I'm not sure why Adam Pearce booked the match, as it wasn't for the final spot in MitB at all.

Now granted, not only was the match a bit confusing but it was also far from unpredictable, as the members of the roster who were already booked for the Ladder Match were also in the event, and when the combatants were widdled down to just Sheamus, Drew McIntyre, and Cobrin, the latter felt like a borderline lock to make it out of the match with the W, as nothing would be gained from any other result.

With momentum now fully at his back, will Corbin find his way back to Las Vegas, where his personal transformation initially began, or will he once again find himself on the outside looking in and begin another downward spiral? Only time will tell.
