Corbin after attacking Dolph Ziggler in December 2016

On the December 20 episode of SmackDown, Corbin confronted Dolph Ziggler, who had just become the number one contender for AJ Styles' WWE Championship, and the two had a match with Ziggler's number one contender's spot on the line, but the match ended in a double countout and SmackDown General Manager Daniel Bryan made the December 27 episode's WWE Championship match a triple threat between Styles, Ziggler and Corbin.[76] The match, Corbin's first world title opportunity in WWE, was won by Styles who pinned Ziggler.[77] On the January 10 episode of SmackDown, Corbin suffered his first pinfall loss in the roster against John Cena since May 2016.[78] At the Royal Rumble event on January 29, Corbin entered the Royal Rumble match at number 13, notably eliminated Raw's Braun Strowman and lasted over 32 minutes before being eliminated by The Undertaker.[79][80] On the February 7 episode of SmackDown, Corbin defeated AJ Styles, Intercontinental Champion Dean Ambrose and The Miz in a fatal four-way match,[81] but at Elimination Chamber on February 12 he was the first man eliminated in the WWE Championship Elimination Chamber match by Ambrose using a roll-up pin, whom he attacked immediately afterwards, which also resulted in Ambrose's elimination.[82] On the March 7 episode of SmackDown, Corbin attacked Dean Ambrose from behind with metal pipe and tried to crush him under the work truck. On the March 21 episode of SmackDown, Corbin was defeated by Randy Orton after Dean Ambrose distracted him in the match, setting up a match at WrestleMania 33 for the WWE Intercontinental Championship. The match was later moved to the Kickoff Show where Corbin was unsuccessful in winning the Championship.[83] On the April 4 episode of SmackDown, Corbin defeated Ambrose in a non-title Street Fight rematch,[84] which would be their last, as Ambrose, with the championship, moved to the Raw brand as a result of the Superstar Shake-up.[85] Next week, Corbin failed to become the #1 contender for the US title after he was unable to win a triple threat match involving AJ Styles and Sami Zayn.[86] On April 26, 2017, it was announced that Corbin had been suspended for a week and fined by SmackDown commissioner Shane McMahon after he shoved an official after he attacked Sami Zayn on Talking Smack.[87] At Backlash Corbin was defeated by Zayn.

Mr. Money in the Bank (2017)

On the May 23 episode of SmackDown, Corbin was announced as a participant in the 2017 Money in the Bank Ladder match at the Money in the Bank pay-per-view, where he won the match and the Money in the Bank briefcase on June 18.[88]

On the June 27 episode of SmackDown, Corbin defeated Zayn to end their feud. Corbin began a feud with Shinsuke Nakamura, who he attacked before the Money in the Bank Ladder match. At Battleground, Corbin lost to Nakamura by disqualification after attacking him with a low blow. On the following episode of SmackDown, Nakamura defeated Corbin in a rematch. After August 1 edition of SmackDown, after Nakamura defeated Cena to become the #1 contender for the WWE Championship at SummerSlam, Corbin attacked Nakamura, only to be attacked by Cena, who executed an Attitude Adjustment on Corbin through an announce table. It was announced the following week by SmackDown General Manager Daniel Bryan that Corbin will face Cena at SummerSlam. Corbin cashed in his Money in the Bank briefcase on the August 15 edition of SmackDown, but quickly lost to Jinder Mahal after attacking Cena instead, thus becoming the third person to unsuccessfully cash in the Money in the Bank contract and the second person after Damien Sandow to lose a cash-in outright.
