10 Things That Are Inevitable Before WWE WrestleMania 34

7. Baron Corbin Becomes WWE Champion

Baron Corbin

That Money In The Bank briefcase isn't staying on Baron Corbin until after WrestleMania 34. There's just no way WWE will show the patience required to keep this story ticking along in the background. A solid prediction would be Corbin cashing in on the next babyface champ post-Jinder Mahal, but more on that later.

Even if Baron failed upon cashing in (which seems impossible), he's still going to be WWE Champion before too long. If WWE are happy to pluck Mahal out of relative obscurity and make him SmackDown's top heel champ, then just think how eager they are to elevate Corbin, someone who has been a pet project for a while now.

Baron has 'WWE Champ by Survivor Series' written all over him. The main challenge after that will be convincing fans he's worthy of defending the strap come 'Mania itself. If not, then Corbin's first reign with the top gold will be temporary.
