10 WWE Superstars who didn't live up to fan expectations

#5 Baron Corbin

When Baron Corbin debuted, he won the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal, he won the United States Championship, and he won the Money in the Bank ladder match within a span of a year. There is some speculation that "The Lone Wolf" has some backstage heat, and as a result, he has been subject to some awful booking.

The only notable thing Corbin has done this past year was winning the United States Championship. His character has become sort of boring, and fans really don’t care. People don’t want to cheer him, and they don’t feel like booing him either. In fact, I just feel sorry for him.

His push on SmackDown was halted due to some apparent real-life heat with John Cena, in 2017.

He has the tough guy look you would expect a heel to have, but right now, I just feel that he has lost it. I don’t care enough about his character to even hate him, and I’m sure most of the WWE universe feels the same way.

Maybe 2018 will be a much more memorable year for "The Lone Wolf", but until that happens, Corbin will have settle for the fifth spot on this list.

If ever given a chance to change a storyline, Sunil would have booked Roman Reigns to end The Undertaker’s WrestleMania streak instead of Brock Lesnar. According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
