Baron Corbin thinks he’ll be back in the WWE one day, considering the names who have already left and returned.
The former WWE star left the company earlier this month after twelve years in the WWE. Baron Corbin has since adopted the name Bishop Dyer, embarking on a career in the independents for the first time.
He recently appeared on Insight with Chris Van Vliet, and was asked if a return to the WWE would ever happen. Baron Corbin replied, saying he thinks it will, citing the likes of CM Punk and Cody Rhodes as people who have left and come back over the past few years.
The former Mr Money in the Bank also mentioned that he regrets leaving before Raw’s move to Netflix and being a part of history.
Baron Corbin On Returning To WWE
“I think so. I don’t think it ever closes,” Baron Corbin said. “I mean, how many people, look at the roster now of guys. Cody, Drew, Punk. I mean Punk, the guy who said he would never, ever, ever, ever go back. Again, I hold no ill will towards WWE because I’m so thankful for everything they’ve ever given me the opportunities to perform in front of millions of people on TV, in person, go to Boys and Girls Club, pull a plane for Special Olympics. There’s just so many cool things they do.
“I was a little bummed I didn’t get to be on Netflix. How cool is that? It’s such a really awesome thing, and things are changing there. I never thought I would see logos on the ring, because it’s been such a historic business of don’t change this, this is the history. We don’t mess with it. Hunter’s bringing a new light, a new vibe, a new energy and I think it’s going to bring new fans. You’re seeing celebrities.”
“It’s not what it used to be where guys were like, Are you a wrestling fan? Don’t let anybody hear me tell you but did you see Raw last night? Now it’s like, this is cool, man. This is fun. Stars from [George] Kittle to all these people. [Patrick] Mahomes was at Raw, Bad Bunny is killing it. It’s not like, Hey, we’re bringing these guys in and they have no clue, we’re just gonna pay him to show up. Like, these are people who they know what they’re doing. They know what they’re getting,” added Baron Corbin.
Despite being open to a return, Corbin said that he wouldn’t return immediately. He said he’d respectfully decline, noting that he has some things he needs to work out first.
