In 2022, WWE seemed to have hit the reset button with Baron Corbin when he was paired with JBL as his manager.
He went on a winning streak but for whatever reason, his push cooled off and JBL was removed from his act. Corbin hasn’t won a match in months and he’s been used on house shows to put other people over.
Corbin has been on a losing streak this year but that changed on Saturday at the live event in Paris, France. As you can see in the clip below, Corbin got a huge reaction before and during his match and a monster reaction when he defeated Rick Boogs.
Whatever the plans are for Corbin in the United States, it is pretty clear that he’s beloved in parts of Europe and the reactions may help convince management to move him back up the card again.
