As per the new reports, it seems like Baron Corbin moved back to NXT and is ready to make a name for himself in the company’s third brand once again.
The former US champion Baron Corbin returned to NXT last month as he attacked NXT Champion Carmelo Hayes. Speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer reported that Baron Corbin will now be a regular competitor in NXT.
“He’s a regular now in NXT, and there’s gonna be more people like that,” Meltzer said. [H/T Wrestling News]
During the 2023 WWE Draft in May, Baron Corbin was one of the selected superstars who signed a free agent contract which in turn allows him to appear on both Raw, SmackDown, and NXT as an active roster member whenever he desired.
On May 30th, Baron Corbin appeared on NXT and attacked NXT Champion Carmelo Hayes. He also challenged Carmelo Hayes for the NXT Championship at Gold Rush on June 27 but became unsuccessful. In that event, we also saw the return of Corbin’s original Lone Wolf character, entrance music, and attire for the first time since 2018.
The following week on NXT, a vignette aired showing Baron Corbin burning various items associated with his past characters, including his Lone Wolf jacket, the vest he wore as the Constable of Monday Night Raw, his King of the Ring Crown, and his Happy Corbin hat. Now, it’s been reported that he will appear regularly on NXT. Let’s see what WWE stored this time for Baron Corbin.
