10 Wrestlers Who Could Win Their First World Title In 2021
7. King Corbin
The only surprise here is that King Corbin is still waiting on his first world championship. WWE is obviously a big fan of the former United States Champion, having kept him around the main event scene ever since his main roster debut at WrestleMania 32. It's easy to forget, but Corbin actually won the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal in his first main roster match. He might not have won many belts since then, but he has been successful in winning a King of the Ring and a Money in the Bank ladder match. WWE is going to pull the trigger on Corbin eventually.
Will that happen in 2021? WWE logic suggests it will. What price a babyface, say Big E. or Daniel Bryan, dethroning Roman Reigns as WWE Universal Champion only for the dastardly Corbin to swipe the big blue belt from that heroic grasp? That seems like a very WWE thing to do.
It seems especially likely now that King Corbin has a couple of lackeys by his side. The Knights of the Lone Wolf (formerly the Forgotten Sons) deserve a break, and helping Corbin claim the Universal Championship may well be the break they need.
