Baron Corbin talks teaming with Apollo Crews.
Since July, Crews and Corbin have been teaming together on SmackDown in a tag division that also includes the likes of The Street Profits, The O.C., Pretty Deadly, The Bloodline, and DIY.
Although they haven't won a match as a team yet, many fans believe that Crews and Corbin could possibly win the WWE Tag Team Championships in the near future.
While speaking to Fightful for a new interview, Corbin explained why he was a little timid to the idea of teaming with Crews at first.
"It’s so funny because when they told me, ‘We’re going to have you tag with Apollo for a little bit.’ I was kind of stand off-ish. I just got done with Bron, the Wolf Dogs, that’s untouchable. How do I make this better. Is it possible? That was so fun and organic and I love Bron Breakker. I was a little timid to the idea. More and more people were like, ‘I love this pairing. I love what you guys are doing.’ I love Apollo. He’s an unbelievable competitor. We’ve wrestled for the last 12 years. We wrestled in London on NXT TakeOver. He’s an amazing competitor."
Fightful then brought up Corbin hilariously telling Crews to go back to Ring Of Honor during their feud in 2025.
"I did, and he never worked there. I didn’t know [laughs].It’s been exciting and I’m excited to see what Apollo and I can do."
Elsewhere in the interview, Corbin talked about his run in NXT and how he used it to revamp himself. Learn more about those comments here.
