What a lot of people tend to forget is that Vince McMahon is a big fan of Baron Corbin behind the scenes. I mean you don't have Corbin defeat Kurt Angle clean in his last match until and unless you believe that Corbin is the future of the company.
What I really do believe is that Vince McMahon believes that Corbin has worked his way up from the bottom of the barrel to the top of the food chain in WWE. Which essentially means that McMahon believes that Baron Corbin belongs in the Universal Championship picture.

Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.
Corbin has been content to do whatever Vince McMahon has asked of him. I mean he pretty much took the blame for declining ratings last December, even though he was just an on-screen character and not an actual Authority Figure.
And hence he is your new Number 1 contender!
