#4 Baron Corbin
Almost every single time I tune into a Baron Corbin match on SmackDown Live! or any other Blue brand specific pay-per-view, I hear JBL’s unmistakable drawl refer to him as a future WWE Champion.
Enough, WWE. We get it.
Baron Corbin has the “look” that has earned so many wrestlers before him (Jinder included) brownie points with Vinne Mac. Now, it’s only the question of when he’s going to smash through that glass ceiling and actually have a run at the top.

But the problem with Corbin has never been the way he looks. Instead, it’s always had to do with the fact that he’s never really gotten over with the crowd the way that he needed to for WWE to actually launch him.
But pitting him against Mahal, however, he just might.
For one, it would be an interesting program featuring two Superstars who haven’t worked the main event scene before and secondly, he would have the whole nationalistic sentiment shtick going for him.
It just might be a gamble worth taking as far as the WWE is concerned.
