#3 Baron Corbin
Baron Corbin was mocked and ridiculed when he was part of NXT. Corbin was a tough sell as a top heel, mostly because of his awkwardness in the ring, and his reputation as a guy that just wasn’t comfortable in his own skin. Physically he should have been a star, but he just couldn’t seem to realise his full potential.
However since he arrived on the main roster and began to shine on SmackDown Live, the buzz on Corbin has dramatically changed. Thanks to his own growth as a talent, combined with some smart booking from WWE, Corbin is now a force to be reckoned with.
Every time his number has been called, Corbin has delivered. He went from low expectations from fans to being the next guy to get a main event shot. He’s definitely made the best of it, and now he has the chance to get over in the biggest moment of his professional career thus far.
Corbin is stepping into the Elimination Chamber against Dean Ambrose, Bray Wyatt, The Miz, AJ Styles, and WWE Champion John Cena. The best part about this match is that anything can happen, which means Corbin has an outside shot of winning the gold.
But even if he doesn’t, Corbin is definitely still on the right track. WWE has done a great job of spotlighting him as the next big thing, and Corbin has delivered on that booking. Now it’s time for him to do it again inside the Elimination Chamber.
