Baron Corbin Believes WWE Fumbled Him

It was announced on Friday that WWE would not be renewing Baron Corbin’s expiring WWE deal, along with the revealed releases of both Indi Hartwell and Tegan Nox. This ends Corbin’s 12-year stay with the company, in which time he won the Money In The Bank briefcase, United States Championship, King Of The Ring tournament, NXT Tag Team Championship, Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal, and the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic. 

Corbin’s tenure in WWE received mixed views from fans, specifically during his time as Monday Night RAW’s Constable, and the choice to place him in Kurt Angle’s retirement match. Despite a resurgence in NXT over the last year, Corbin was called back up to the main roster in 2024, but was subsequently hardly featured in his tag team with Apollo Crews - something Corbin himself was reportedly initially unhappy with. 

In the Instagram comments of one of his posts, a fan responded to Corbin claiming that WWE fumbled him. Corbin replied with the following, agreeing:

“I appreciate that and I feel the same”. 

It was reported that WWE were unhappy with Samantha Irvin taking to social media following her WWE exit.
