Smackdown Live doesn’t have as many big name and talents as Monday Night Raw now has, but they are doing their best in order to create new stars. So far, they are doing an amazing job with it as AJ Styles is one of the biggest stars that WWE has right now, Bray Wyatt and Luke Harper are thriving on Smackdown Live with the help of Randy Orton, and things are really looking good for the blue brand right now.
One of the superstars that is bound to receive a big push in 2017 is the Lone Wolf Baron Corbin. He has been portrayed as a legit threat in the Elimination Chamber match and has started feuding with Dean Ambrose. It’s likely that the Intercontinental Championship will be on the line in this dispute and that it will be resolved at the grandest stage of them all. There are reports that WWE officials and creative staff of Smackdown Live are really high on Baron Corbin and that they have big plans for him in the future.
Money In The Bank is Smackdown’s official PPV this year, and Baron Corbin seems the most logical option for the MITB match winner. It is believed that this feud with Ambrose and the IC title are just a stepping stone for Baron Corbin who is going to receive a big push up the ranks of the blue brand and probably into the main event picture later in the year.
Corbin can be a legit monster on Smackdown and WWE is slowly building him up. He might be the WWE Champion before this year ends. If not, we will be surprised if he doesn’t win it in 2018.
