John Cena is a curse for the MITB winner

#1 Baron Corbin cashes in against Jinder Mahal

Cena doesn't even have to be a part of the match to jinx it

Baron Corbin has had quite a run in the WWE. He won the Andre The Giant Battle Royal on his debut at 'The Grandest Stage of Them All' by eliminating Kane in the end. He has become a mainstay on the WWE roster and the WWE Universe always look forward to seeing him in action. He is now set to challenge AJ Styles along with 4 other Superstars at Fastlane.

In the Money In The Bank PPV of 2017, Corbin fought off 5 other Superstars to win the briefcase with a contract to challenge the champion anytime he wanted. Corbin has always been a dark horse in both of his iconic wins.

On an episode of SmackDown Live, Corbin interrupted a match between John Cena and Jinder Mahal, attacking his then SummerSlam opponent, John Cena. Corbin later decided to cash in his contract against the then WWE Champion, Mahal. As Mahal was on his way, Cena got on to the ring apron and Corbin attacked Cena instead, knocking him off the apron. Capitalising on the distraction, Mahal quickly rolled Corbin up for the three count and retained his Title.

This incident made Baron Corbin the third Superstar who failed to capture the title after a cash-in, and the second Superstar to outright lose a cash-in match. Courtesy, John Cena.
