Baron Corbin wants to continue evolving in the ring.
Throughout the years, Corbin has went through many gimmick changes, theme songs, and stints on different brands. After spending nearly a year in NXT, Corbin made his return to SmackDown after being drafted to the brand in the 2024 WWE Draft.
While speaking to Fightful for a new interview, Baron Corbin talked about how he went to NXT to revamp who he was and how he's making a concentrated effort to do things differently in the ring.
"It’s definitely a concentrated effort when I came back to the main roster. I went to NXT to fix a lot of things. Not just with my wrestling, but I had been beaten by everybody, I had to revamp who I was and leave that in the past, to get that fresh start on the main roster. If you saw me come out and do the same things you saw me do two years ago, you wouldn’t care. You would say, ‘Oh, he’s still the same guy.’ It is a concentrated effort to create a new way that I move and things I do in the ring to elevate it and make it exciting. Plus, down at NXT, those boys can go. I had to evolve my game to run with those guys like Ilja, Carmelo, and Bron. The list of guys you haven’t seen is amazing. I had to step my game up. It made me better for everybody to see."
