I was ecstatic when Corbin was selected by SmackDown's Daniel Bryan and Shane McMahon in the 2016 WWE Draft a few weeks back because there in no doubt in my mind that he would have been overshadowed by the star power (Finn Balor, Kevin Owens, Cesaro, Sami Zayn, Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns, etc.) on Raw. At least on SmackDown, he has a chance to emerge as one of the brand's top heels behind AJ Styles.

His SmackDown stint is already off to a strong stint as he took part in the Six Pack Challenge to crown a new No. 1 contender to the WWE World Championship at SummerSlam on the July 26 episode. While he didn't have his hand raised when the contest concluded, he didn't look the least bit out of place when sharing the squared circle with the likes of AJ Styles and John Cena, among others.
Speaking of whom, I firmly believe Cena would be an excellent dance partner for Corbin at some point in the second half of 2016.
Corey Graves deleted his Tweet! More details HERE.
Does Cena have the greatest track record when it comes to putting over younger talent? Probably not, but you can't deny that Corbin would instantly gain credibility simply by being placed in a program with the former 15-time world champion, regardless of whether he comes out on the winning end of it or not. It would surely beat the heck out of having him flounder and compete in meaningless squash matches every week.
