#1 Baron Corbin
After proving that he can hang with the big dogs in a spectacular triple threat match that ended the year on TV for WWE on a high note, Baron Corbin is obviously being primed for much bigger things in the future.
Cena has claimed that he’s the gatekeeper, and all young stars must go through him. That’s exactly the scenario we’re going to see go down between he and Corbin sooner or later. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Corbin call him out right after WrestleMania.
It’s tough to say what the plan is for the big man now, but if the triple threat match was a test, he definitely passed it. The original Face That Runs The Place is sure to be in his line of sight soon, and it’s a match that could make Baron Corbin’s young career.
