#2 Baron Corbin finally cashes in, becomes the new Universal Champion

I know that with AEW's Double or Nothing on the horizon, the last thing that WWE would want to do is book a widely hated champion. But I have a feeling that Baron Corbin is due for a big push, and I can actually see him becoming the Universal Champion very soon indeed. This would allow a babyface like Seth Rollins to chase The Lone Wolf for the prized title.

It could all begin with Corbin becoming the Money In The Bank winner at the pay-per-view. And then on the same night when Rollins defeats AJ Styles for the Universal Championship, he cashes in and becomes the Champion at last. If you remember, Baron Corbin failed to cash in the last time around, and now could potentially be his moment.

You don't retire Kurt Angle for no reason. I'm guessing WWE has big plans for Corbin.
