King Corbin has caught Vince McMahon's eye

#2 King Corbin is a versatile heel

When Baron Corbin made his main roster debut, he dawned long locks and had the dominating persona of any big, muscular guy in WWE. Two years later, he shaved off his head, wore a suit, and lined himself with The Authority as Constable Corbin. He went on to become the acting General Manager of RAW, replacing Kurt Angle.

As GM, Corbin played the ultimate heel who had all the power in his hands. He gave himself title shots and changed match stipulations that would favor him. A year after acting as an authoritative figure, Corbin won the King Of The Ring Tournament by defeating Chad Gable in the finals. Since then, we have borne witness to the despicable King Corbin gimmick.
