#3 Baron Corbin

Baron Corbin seems like a natural who was destined to become one of the most talented heels in WWE. However, he too was initially interested in a career in football.
As a former member of the Indianapolis Colts and Arizona Cardinals of the NFL, Corbin lived a large portion of his dream. Corbin made a name for himself in the world of football before jumping the way many superstars have in the past.

He diverted his attention to a career in sports entertainment and signed with WWE's developmental system NXT in mid-2012. Corbin later moved on to the main roster later and is now a former United States Champion, the 2017 Money in the Bank ladder match winner, and the 2019 King of the Ring.
Corbin is a classic example of how a person can change their career and become extremely successful after putting in the required hard work. Despite being a heel for most the most part, Corbin has a good work rate in the ring and remains an integral part of WWE's plans.
