4. Baron Corbin

It wasn't so long ago that WWE Raw was built almost entirely around Baron Corbin and his heel authority figure shenanigans. This period was a disaster, coinciding with record low ratings, and prompting Seth Rollins' awful, Russo-esque fourth-wall promo in December... as well as the McMahons' return to television.

Brilliant.

Jettisoned from his staff position, Corbin has since been cut loose on the midcard. It's hard to imagine WWE have given up on him, though. They don't abandon pushed tall fellas with flashy finishing moves so quickly, and he could do a lot better in the Rumble than anyone wants.

Chances: Moderate.
