Baron Corbin’s run with WWE has come to an end due to the company’s decision to not renew his contract. Corbin was lucky to have a long run with World Wrestling Entertainment and recently he’s been reflecting on his time with WWE.
Fans saw Baron Corbin go through multiple gimmick changes since he first joined the company, and in 2022 he was paired with JBL. The pairing seemed promising at first, but unfortunately the idea was dropped quickly. While speaking to Sports Illustrated about the partnership Baron Corbin shared his thoughts on why it didn’t work.
“I can’t put my finger on why it struggled. I think the people, and John and myself, wanted more out of it. I wanted [JBL] to be able to decapitate a few people, and it’s a process of getting him back in the ring and getting him doing that.
He just became like a mouthpiece for me in the introduction thing, where he would get the crowd all riled up for me. But I think we all just wanted a little bit more from that, and it just didn’t click. I’ll take the fall for it. I’m happy to do that because JBL is one of the greatest of all time, and sometimes things just don’t click. It is what it is.”
