5. Baron Corbin

It's hard to get a read on WWE's plans for Baron Corbin. 2017 brought several major highs (Money in the Bank, the United States Title), but each was tempered by a crushing low (his failed cash-in, SummerSlam burial, and championship loss). His push is all over the place, but the fact that he's currently down and out on SmackDown suggests another surge is imminent, as this was the norm for 'The Lone Wolf' last year.

He probably isn't winning, but WWE love big lads, and with no real 'monster' announced for the Rumble yet, that spot could well go to Corbin.

Chances: Moderate.
