Baron Corbin wouldn't have been proud of this moment
In 2017, Baron Corbin went on to beat AJ Styles, Kevin Owens, Dolph Ziggler, Sami Zayn and Shinsuke Nakamura at the Money In The Bank PPV to clinch the briefcase. Before calling himself King Corbin, he could call himself Mr. Money In The Bank.

Even though Corbin won the briefcase that guaranteed him a shot at the title at a time he seemed fit, he decided to cash in when a match between then WWE Champion Jinder Mahal and John Cena was set to take place. To his bad luck, Corbin was beaten by the Modern Day Maharaja when he was sidetracked by Cena.
His failed attempt at winning the WWE Championship even after winning the MITB briefcase made him the third Superstar to cash-in unsuccessfully. WWE has the chance to right that wrong if they go ahead with Corbin as their choice to walk out of Money In The Bank as the winner.

Kishan Prasad
Kishan is a WWE writer at Sportskeeda Wrestling and has been associated with the division for 8.5 years. Even though he doesn't work at Sportskeeda on a full-time basis, writing about wrestling keeps his passion for the sport alive. He reports on important updates from wrestlers and rumors from trustworthy sources.
Kishan recalls the best match he witnessed when he was just 6 – the Hell in a Cell Match at Armageddon 2000. Watching the six men push each other to their limits and then some made him realize how incredible pro wrestling is.
He graduated as a Chemical Engineer a few years before he began his journey with Sportskeeda. A couple of years as a non-contracted writer for the website became a full-time opportunity that included managing the pro wrestling division.
Kishan's favorite wrestler is Triple H, as he can pull him into any storyline. In today's era, one can call him a Seth "Freakin" Rollins fan for the same reason. When he is not writing for Sportskeeda, Kishan works as a digital marketing professional.
