#2 Baron Corbin
Shortly before the draft, Baron Corbin made his main roster debut; winning the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royale at WrestleMania 32. Not a bad way to start.
Corbin was assigned to Smackdown; his big break occurred when he won the Money in The Bank briefcase at the 2017 event. When ‘The Lone Wolf’ hoisted the briefcase, it was almost guaranteed that he would be WWE Champion soon.
At some point, Vince McMahon lost confidence in Corbin, and he joined Damien Sandow as one of only two wrestlers to lose their cash-in match. Corbin never got over the embarrassing loss.
Corbin did win the United States title later in the year, but it was a consolation prize. Ironically, the person he beat for that US title, AJ Styles, went on to win the WWE Championship.
Corbin moved to Raw during the Superstar Shakeup this year and has featured more prominently then he did on Smackdown in his last few months on the brand. He shaved off his receding locks and is rocking a waist jacket as Raw’s Governor.
‘The Lone Wolf’ is getting to show off his mic skills in the role; however, he still lacks that special something that will take him to the next level.
Whether this storyline will lead to a match between Corbin and General Manager Kurt Angle remains to be seen, but things could be worse for him.
