WWE is making another change to the Baron Corbin gimmick.
Corbin has undergone multiple character changes since his main roster debut years ago and has been doing a comedy gimmick, which is much different from his past Baron Corbin character, in recent years.
However, it looks like Corbin is returning to something similar to his original in NXT and one that he portrayed early on during his main roster days, where he has a bit more edge.
He spoke about this during the Johnny Dare Morning Show now that Triple H is in charge of creative.
“Triple H taking over, he’s bringing the kind of like this fresh vibe, and you know, Triple H, he thrived in the attitude era. Like, he is pretty much the definition with DX of the attitude Era. I think he’s bringing some of that attitude and pushing the envelope, and bringing the aggressiveness back to WWE. I think it’s an awesome thing because he wants to keep the entertainment as well. I’m not just a big bad guy that’s tough and beats everybody up. Like, ‘How can we do it and be entertaining and funny and witty?’ It’s pretty awesome to have him putting his touch on a lot of things and really. He’s bringing a lot of fresh aspects to it, and I think it’s getting people excited. It’s really helping it thrive again and being back in front of people.
He’s a guy who, when I came into NXT, he was a guy who really grabbed onto me and helped develop me and create who I was. My first entrance, he brought that whole motorcycle vibe, that drudgy rock music where I walked in, and I had spotlights over my head. That was all his vision and it’s cool to have him back because he has now kind of taken what I’ve been doing and going, ‘How do we put more edge back on you? How do we make you a little more badass again?’ And that feels good to have that.”
