How did Seth Rollins get treated by 2019?

#7 Baron Corbin

We know you probably hate King Corbin, but why do you have to be like that?

There's probably not a more despised man in the entire WWE than King Baron Corbin. Most of this is due to the fact that he is featured prominently on WWE programming while failing to resonate with the WWE audience.

But Corbin is not to be blamed for his booking, and truth to tell he's an above-average wrestler who rarely injures his opponents for real. How did 2019 treat Corbin?

Win/Loss Record: With 23 wins and 26 losses, Corbin splits the difference with an average grade. Grade: C

Championships: Technically, Baron Corbin didn't have any title reigns, though he had frequent shots at the Universal belt. However, he did win the King of the Ring, which is sort of like a championship. Grade: B

Mass Media Appeal: Not much going on for Corbin here, because his NFL career was so short it doesn't help his media appeal. Grade: F

Industry Influence: Much like other big men on our list, Corbin isn't a great technician but he's good at using what brought him to the dance. That counts for some influence. Grade: C

Overall Grade: C+ Corbin had arguably one of the biggest years of his career, but his average win-loss record and lack of championships hampered his overall grade.
