5 best options for King Corbin after his loss to Roman Reigns

King Corbin lost to Roman Reigns in a steel cage match at Super ShowDown and then wasn't even seen the next night on SmackDown. If nothing else, it was an instant momentum killer for the character and leaves him in a purgatory-like setting heading into WrestleMania 36.

Of course, this doesn't mean that King Corbin is doomed or anything like that, but marquee spots at WrestleMania 36 are starting to become hard to come by. That's why the company is going to do some very creative maneuvering and storytelling to give Corbin a spot he deserves.

With that being said and WrestleMania 36 right around the corner, here are five best-case scenarios for Baron Corbin after his loss to Roman Reigns. As always, let us know your thoughts in the comments below and be sure to tell us what you think WWE should do with him at WrestleMania 36.

#5 Face Braun Strowman for The Intercontinental Title

Braun Strowman versus Baron Corbin. Who wins?

There aren't a lot of title pictures for King Corbin to sink his teeth into, which is why The Intercontinental Title could be a soft resting place for him. Of course, this will probably result in a loss at WrestleMania 36, especially with how over Strowman is with the crowd right now, but it would at least be something noteworthy.

It would also be a great measuring stick for Strowman, who is still just coming into his own as the Champion and needs an establishing victory. In fact, between Strowman's no-nonsense attitude and Corbin's trash-talking, this would be a great dynamic for the company to play with a bit.

In the end, it probably won't be exactly where Corbin should be, and it might even result in another loss for The King, but it is at least something for both men. It also could make for some pretty must-see television in the mid-card, which is something the company needs to consider going forward.

#4 Another feud with Shorty G

Maybe a King of the Ring rematch with Shorty G would be best for business

Why not go back to where it began?

No, seriously, if WWE is struggling to find an opponent for King Corbin at WrestleMania 36, why not just do a rematch of the King of the Ring tournament with Shorty G? It could be a great chance for both men to regain some momentum after being lost in the shuffle, and also could serve as an opportunity for Corbin to get a win again.

Of course, it's not the big win King Corbin deserves after the historic run he has been on lately, but it would at least serve as a stop-gap until the company has other plans for him. It would also be a nice high profile feud for Shorty G, which could help him going forward as well.

In the end, WWE needs to do something with Corbin at WrestleMania 36 and are running out of options. With that in mind, and the pay per view right around the corner, WWE might just want to reignite an old flame by doing Shorty G versus King Corbin at WrestleMania 36.

#3 Give King Corbin a talk show

King Corbin deserves his own talk show!

King Corbin is a master trash talker and WWE would be wise to play that up by giving him his own talk show. At least that way, the character can continue to play up his strengths, get heat from the WWE Universe, and give a young babyface the chance to finally shut him up for good.

It's a formula as old as time and could serve as a suitable sideshow between the marquee matches of WWE WrestleMania 36. It also allows the company to give King Corbin a microphone and see just how far he can go to solicit a reaction from the WWE Universe.

With that being said, this might not be the ideal scenario for Corbin, but it is at least a way to keep him above water in the mid-card. It could also lead to some kind of dream encounter at WrestleMania 36 between King Corbin and another WWE legend, which would be very interesting to watch unfold.

#2 Hulk Hogan

King Corbin versus Hulk Hogan would be a dream match of sorts

King Corbin ended Kurt Angle's career at last year's WrestleMania, but what if he was able to beat another legend this year? Not only would it be the beginning of a streak for Corbin, who needs something like that right now, it would also go a long way in furthering his stock with the company.

Think about it. After suffering a brutal loss to Roman Reigns at Super ShowDown, Corbin needs to find a way to rebound, and another match with a WWE legend could be a great way to go about it. It might even finally be what puts Corbin into the title picture again and opens the door for him to be a heel champion down the line.

In all honesty, Corbin versus Hulk Hogan would be nothing short of interesting. It would even allow for Corbin to execute some of his best trash-talking at the expense of the company's former golden boy. The sky is honestly the limit with this match, and if WWE is willing to trot Hogan out of retirement, they should consider doing it for this.

#1 Triple H

Could Triple H return for one more match with King Corbin?

This one might sound like a long shot, and it honestly is, because Triple H hasn't been scheduled for a WrestleMania feud yet, but it would be a huge opportunity for King Corbin. Furthermore, it might even be what finally puts him back in that upper tier of Superstars and ultimately the title picture.

If nothing else, King Corbin versus The King of Kings would be nothing short of a passing of the torch moment and could even serve as the last bow for Triple H if the company wanted to go that direction. Triple H and Corbin would also be an interesting dynamic to play with, which could make for some must-see television.

In the end, creating must-see television is what WWE is all about and that could be easily accomplished with Triple H versus Corbin. Again, not a huge possibility for this to happen due to Triple H not being scheduled yet, but that doesn't necessarily mean he still can't play some kind of role.
