10 Early Contenders To Win WWE Money In The Bank 2017
1. Baron Corbin
If recent reports are to be believed, WWE plans on making Baron Corbin SmackDown’s next major heel. As a result, he’ll likely run through Sami Zayn over the coming weeks, then enter the WWE Title picture whenever Randy Orton concludes his business with Jinder Mahal.
Is he ready for such a spot? That’s debatable, but his push could coincide with Money In The Bank.
Corbin’s power move set would make him a fun inclusion in the match, and a victory would greatly outstrip anything else he has accomplished with the character. He’s exactly the right kind of personality for the job too, as the ideal Mr. Money In The Bank should be calculating, ruthless, and willing to strike when the opponent is at their weakest.
If Corbin has proven anything, it’s that he knows how to kick a man when he’s down, which is exactly what he’d have to do to cash in the briefcase. The case (sorry) for his victory strengthens when you consider the improvements he has made on the main roster, and the blue brand’s current dearth of credible villains.
Furthermore, Corbin has already been installed as the bookies’ favourite, and assuming WWE go ahead with his planned push, that’s unlikely to change before the event.
