#1 Might need to change: Baron Corbin as Raw's top heel

Baron Corbin was a New York state Golden Gloves boxer and NFL player before he joined WWE's developmental program, NXT.

When the Lone Wolf made the jump to the main roster, he did so at the same time as Braun Strowman. WWE initially believed that Corbin would be the more successful main roster star of the two, but that's not how it played out.

Braun Strowman has managed to resonate with the WWE Universe and can get fans emotionally invested in his matches. Corbin is a better in-ring performer, but he can't seem to resonate with the fans as face or heel.

WWE seems to know this and keeps shuffling him around as pertains to his role on the show. Currently, he is being treated as the top heel on RAW, with his recent title shot and his win over Kurt Angle at Wrestlemania 35 as evidence of this.

Not all seeds grow in all soils, and WWE may want to change Corbin's role yet again.
