7) Baron Corbin

WWE Intercontinental Championship

Baron Corbin has had a decent start to his career on WWE’s main roster. It began with him winning the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal at Wrestlemania 32.

Corbin has been involved in some smaller feuds in 2016 but hasn’t really been close to winning his first piece of championship gold (on NXT or the main roster).

I think WWE brass is high on Corbin and I predict that he will have a big year in 2017. I don’t think he will win the WWE World Title just yet but I do expect him to have a run with a mid-card title

Since he is on Smackdown, that means the WWE Intercontinental Title.

Maybe in the later part of 2017, WWE will build him up for a potential run with the World Title but for 2017, I think a nice run with the Intercontinental Title will be great for him.
