WWE SmackDown Live: Superstars Who Are Most Likely To Switch Brands

3. Baron Corbin
The Lone Wolf’s career should have taken off last year, propelling him to super stardom and a potential WWE title reign. I mean, Jinder Mahal was the WWE champion when Corbin cashed in his MITB contract and to this day, I believe he should have won. Corbin’s career has seen too many starts and stops even at such a young stage.
An NXT graduate, Corbin is an asset for whichever show he is part of. The Lone Wolf has picked up things really fast and has improved his in-ring game and character. He makes up for an excellent heel but is often underused on Tuesday nights. Corbin is again brought in every now and then when a new contender like Nakamura needs to look tough.
This has hurt the Lone Wolf’s momentum as he hasn’t had many memorable dominating performances against top-level stars. Moving to Monday night Raw will not only ensure more exposure for the budding star, it would also allow him to mix it up with more top-tier talents.
A showdown between Corbin and Braun Strowman would be monstrous to say the least. Hell, I wouldn’t even be upset to see these two men team up for once. It doesn’t even have to be Braun. Even a returning Big Cass would make for a nice rival/partner for Corbin. Whatever the case may be, the Lone Wolf needs a new start and Monday night could provide him just that.
