Baron Corbin is hardly the WWE Superstar a fan thinks of while listing extraordinary in-ring talents. However, there is one benefit in a Corbin vs. Jericho match. Corbin already holds the rare acumen of retiring a legend of the stature of Kurt Angle, and the entire lead-up to the match could include Corbin boasting about potentially retiring yet another icon of WWE.

Corbin is currently being pushed as Happy Corbin, and his portrayal of destitution to return to prosperity with a flicker of villainy has been well received. If the Mayor of Jackpot City continues the good work and if WWE keeps him a part of significant storylines, the speculative Jericho match will turn serious. Otherwise, the match may operate as a throwaway humorous moment.

#3 Former WWE Universal Champion Finn Bálor

Finn Bálor is an incredible competitor and his proficiency inside the ring is undoubted. He is currently undergoing a resurgence in stature following a successful NXT run and a feud against Roman Reigns.

Bálor has only faced Jericho in live events and has won all of their matches. However, they have never competed against each other on television. Bálor vs. Jericho has every potential to be an amazing match, with the latter conceivably lending the rub to the Irish superstar.
