Baron Corbin started the year under the name he was given back when he made his debut in NXT. The former football player has become one of the most hated stars in WWE over the past year since he's been the main heel used on both SmackDown and RAW and was even pushed to the final of the King of the Ring tournament.

Corbin faced Chad Gable in the final of the King of the Ring Tournament the day after Clash of Champions, something which has since lead to him changing his name to King Corbin. Baron is no more, he has a new confident attitude and an attire that is straight out of an episode of Game of Thrones, which has only added to the heat that he gains from crowds all over the world.

It's likely that King Corbin will be the name that he is referred to until another King of the Ring tournament allows another star to rise into the position as King, so until then, the WWE Universe has to suffer under the reign of King Corbin.
