#5 Baron Corbin
I can remember watching him early on in his developmental phase and my first reaction of him was not so good. Baron Corbin is a big, strong, bad dude and the problem is, he knows it. When he first made the transition from professional football to the WWE, he brought with him a huge ego and an unnecessarily massive chip on his shoulder.
Unfortunately for him, there was no room for his oversized ego inside the WWE Performance Center and after years of coaching, Baron finally realised that the reason why he had not made it to the big stage, and why others were passing him by, was because he had too much pride to pause, listen to the coaches and understand that he needs them way more than they need him.
Corbin made his main roster debut at Wrestlemania 32, by winning the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal. He would appear on RAW the following night and the rest, as they say, is history. Even after being elevated to the RAW roster, I was still a skeptic.
However, Baron Corbin hit the main roster running, bound and determined to prove to the world that he was ready to step up to the plate, which he has indeed done.
Baron has been the most improved talent on any WWE roster and the time has come for him to take yet another step up. Corbin is ready for a shot at the top prize and if he’s one of the participants in this year's Money in the Bank Ladder Match, he's absolutely a prime candidate to walk out of the Scottrade Center with the briefcase.
