Watch the way live crowds react when they hear that thunderous roar of 'Braun' power over the speakers and see Braun Strowman march down the ramp. There's a level of excitement about Strowman's presence that someone like Baron Corbin just can't match. Then again, he hasn't been protected the way Strowman has.

Corbin is behind other big men in WWE like Strowman, and that would have to change before he became WWE Champion. There are flickers of potential in Corbin's performances, such as his visible confidence, workable 'Lone Wolf' character and physical size, but he's still raw potential.

Although Braun has that same raw feel, the beast-like bruiser plays to his strengths at all times by rarely being taken off his feet, keeping his promos short and simple, and throwing smaller men around like toys. Corbin doesn't do any of these things, making him look like just another wrestler who happens to be tall. WWE need to work on that.

Why else do you believe it's too soon for Baron Corbin to become WWE Champ? Let us know down in the comments section below!
