At the onset of 2017, it looked like Baron Corbin was bound for big things, and he was well on his way to becoming a fixture in the main event scene after strong showings at Royal Rumble and Elimination Chamber and a Money in the Bank Ladder match victory in June.

Before he could cash in the contract successfully, however, he randomly lost to WWE champion Jinder Mahal in fluky fashion on SmackDown Live before being decisively defeated by John Cena at SummerSlam days later. Needless to say, despite currently being in contention for the United States Championship, his stock in the company has plummeted considerably compared to a few months ago.

A change of scenery could be what's best for Corbin, especially since Raw is the land of the giants anyway with Brock Lesnar, Braun Strowman, Big Show, Big Cass and others already a part of the roster. That might mean he wouldn't stand out as much as he does on SmackDown, but at least he would have a fresh batch of opponents to work with including Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns, Samoa Joe, The Miz and more.

Maybe on Monday nights Corbin can finally find his footing as a singles star.
