It was recently confirmed that WWE decided not to renew Baron Corbin’s contract, so now the former United States Champion is done with the company. Throughout his run with WWE, Corbin worked with some big names and he had the honor of being the man who defeated Kurt Angle in his retirement match at WrestleMania 35.
Recently Kurt Angle shared his thoughts on Baron Corbin’s departure, and he admitted that he found it to be disappointing when he said, “It’s a little disappointing to know that he beat a legend at WrestleMania, the legend’s last match. And they didn’t do much with him after that. For me, it makes me feel like I did that for nothing. And — so, it’s not like a ‘Screw You Angle,’ but it kinda is. I thought they were gonna run with the kid. I thought they were going to make him one of the top-tier guys and he was on his way.”
Baron Corbin reacted to Kurt Angle’s comments on social media when he noted that he had wished to become world champion at some point so that he could honor what Angle did for him at WrestleMania.
“To be fair, that’s one of the reasons I wish I had become world champ! It would paid honor to what Kurt did for me. I will forever appreciate it and wish I could have done more to make it worth it for him.”
