Baron Corbin has been a special type of project for WWE officials. Despite having plenty of time in NXT to train and prepare for the main roster, he never seemed to get it all together, for one reason or another. Nevertheless, his look and size were enough to compensate for what he lacked skill wise and he still earned a spot on the main roster. Since arriving, he has surprised everyone. Corbin has made a huge improvement and continues to get enter each week.

With a nice win over Apollo Crews at Backlash, Corbin could potentially be headed towards better booking opportunities, just as long as he keeps things headed in the direction they currently are.
Moving forward, Baron Corbin is a future top heel, so long as he continues to improve and doesn't get content with things as they are. The best way to book Corbin could be to let him move into a more prominent feud, against a bigger name than what he's been facing on Smackdown. Even bankrolling Apollo Crews into a full feud would be a step in the right direction for Corbin, as long as he wins the rivalry in the end. Following that, it may be time to move on to a title feud against whoever is holding the Intercontinental title at that time. The key for Corbin's success is to keep moving up and limit hiccups along the way.

Jonathan believes integrity is vital in journalism and ensures his work is high on accuracy. He conducts in-depth research and verifies information from various sources before curating a feature.
Jonathan has engaged in many meaningful conversations with prominent pro wrestling personalities like Drew McIntyre and DDP. He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.
Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
