#1 To bring back the Lone Wolf

One of the major consequences of facing The Fiend is that you will change - usually for the best. Finn Balor, Seth Rollins, Daniel Bryan, and even Jerry Lawler can vouch to that. Balor in NXT is having his best days since 2017. Rollins is back in his charming heel persona. Daniel Bryan is at his pre-2014 version and Jerry Lawler is back as a commentator for RAW.

Baron Corbin has been many things before becoming the King. Corbin was mostly known as "Constable Corbin" during his run on RAW when Stephanie McMahon suspended Kurt Angle. But before then, Corbin was the "Lone Wolf", a character that often ventured alone in his path. Rather than talking trash about his opponents or potential rivals, Corbin used to settle things inside the ring.

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

Corbin lacked mic skills back then but now, he has developed himself exponentially. However, the quality of his bouts after becoming the Constable has deteriorated - mainly due to his gimmick and consistent interferences from his lackeys. While Corbin was a credible threat for anyone as the Lone Wolf, his legitimacy currently as a singles contender (without any backup) is next to nothing.

If Bray Wyatt could change Corbin and bring the Lone Wolf back, we could get the best version of Baron Corbin - one who can talk as well as settle scores inside the ring.
