15 Biggest BURIALS Wrestlers Never Recovered From

15. Baron Corbin (By John Cena)

Baron Corbin had only been in the industry five years when he was put face to face with John Cena in the summer of 2017, so there was something reasonable - rationale, even - about 'The Champ's apparent backstage confirmation that the 'Lone Wolf' didn't have "it" after their initial interactions. The trick of the work is to obscure that of course, and Cena didn't seem particularly fussed about that part of his job during their feud. 

Over the course of a few weeks, Corbin embarrassingly lost his Money In The Bank briefcase thanks to an over-zealous cash-in attempt on paper Champion Jinder Mahal just days before he was set to go toe-to-toe with Cena at SummerSlam in the biggest match in his career. This was less-than-ideal booking, but WWE constantly undermined heels in their feuds with 'Big Match John', and as long as the Premium Live Event played host to some attempt from Corbin to extract angry revenge, it didn't all need to be a big dead loss for the former NXT star.

Cena wins, lol.

The veteran spent ages messing around with JBL's cowboy hat, led Corbin around like Bugs Bunny would Elmer Fudd, dragged a "where's your briefcase" chant kicking and screaming from an indifferent crowd and wrapped up what ultimately scanned as a squash in less time than all-but one contest on the 13-match card. Golden ticket in hand, Baron looked like he was just getting started, Two weeks with Cena and he was already finished.
