Nightmare: That WWE believe 'Constable' Baron Corbin could be taken seriously as an opponent during Braun Strowman's babyface rebuild. All signs are pointing to it, although there is still that looming threat of a Kurt Angle vs. Corbin match in the background too.

Chances Of It Coming True: It's bound to happen at some point, and the easy story would see Braun growing distracted by Corbin's presence around ringside at Survivor Series. This would give WWE an out in terms of eliminating Strowman, sure, but it'd have the knock-on effect of meaning he'd have to wrestle Baron on Raw or at TLC.

Braun fans should start getting worried about his 'Mania prospects. Unless he wins the Royal Rumble, what spot does he have next spring? He was soundly beaten by Brock Lesnar at Crown Jewel (because of Corbin, admittedly) and a feud with the temp Raw GM won't do anything for him.
