Ranking Every Raw WWE Superstar Shakeup Move From Worst To Best

3. Baron Corbin

If Dolph Ziggler had a wretched 2017, then Baron Corbin had one stacked with ups and downs.

After becoming a Money in the Bank winner last Summer, Corbin was made to look like he was punching well above his weight by losing the briefcase and jobbing to John Cena in a lop-sided match at SummerSlam. Since then, he's drifted around making vague threats without coming through on any of them.

Sound familiar? It's like WWE were trying to turn Baron into SmackDown's version of Bray Wyatt without even knowing it, and that big talk, little action approach has to change if he's to turn mid-card mediocrity into upper-card promise.

There's a worker in there, and a good promo man, but it's all hidden behind a lack of polish. That's Vince McMahon's responsibility, to build on the base skills Corbin has. Consider him a dark horse in the Superstar Shakeup.
