Why Baron Corbin can still make it as a top heel on SmackDown

The ‘Lone Wolf’ has a chance to become one of SmackDown Live’s top heels.

This company has been sorely lacking a monster heel for years. Mark Henry was a gem of a villain during his “Hall of Pain” days, as was Big Show when he held the World Heavyweight Championship for a time in late 2012, but that was years ago. Henry, Show and Kane have all seen their television time drastically curtailed recently, and rightfully so. They represent the old age, and as we enter the New Era, it is only appropriate Corbin fill the void they left behind.

As SummerSlam quickly approaches, the question turns to what WWE does with him going forward. The aforementioned feud with Cena would be something fresh for both guys, but he is currently tied up with Styles.

It's possible he sets his sights on someone like Kalisto who could bump around for him, but it might be best to continue to build him up until the time comes to put him in a prominent program.

Despite his first few months on the main roster being less-than-stellar, Corbin is by no means done for. He has only scratched the surface in terms of what he is capable of achieving, and with the blue brand's roster being as thin as it is, he could and should, be destined for major happenings on Tuesday nights.
