"I bring the darkness, I am the thunder. I come from hell and I'll pull you under. I'll make you laugh if I become King, and you'll hate my guts... when I'm in the ring".

Those are definitely the new lyrics to Baron Corbin's entrance theme when he becomes 2019 WWE King Of The Ring and makes Kurt Angle loyalists cry into their USA banners all over again. In all seriousness, would anyone really put it past WWE to bring Corbin back from his temporary TV layoff and give him the crown?

He's hardly a favourite, and yet it's difficult to count Baron out completely. Though WWE love booking him as some sort of trollish rib at the audience's expense, the truth is that he does get some heat. Whether or not that's X-Pac heat is up for debate. 'King' Corbin? Don't bet against it.
