This week, Baron Corbin was informed that his WWE contract will not be renewed when it expires, bringing an end to his 12-year tenure with the company. Corbin was at one point a main eventer on Monday Night Raw, and appeared poised for a World Championship win, though that never materialized. When a fan on Instagram argued that WWE \'fumbled\' the Lone Wolf, Corbin agreed with the sentiment.
Corbin\'s comment comes amid a discussion about the rapport of WWE talents after leaving the promotion. Samantha Irvin has been outspoken about her reasons for exiting WWE, though has made clear she enjoyed her time with the company. Indi Hartwell has remained more positive about her own exit from WWE, and has said fans shouldn\'t cry to see her released, but smile that she was with WWE in the first place.
Corbin joined WWE in 2012 and quickly established himself as part of NXT. In 2016, he was called up to the main roster by winning the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal and won the U.S. title the following year. Despite being prominently pushed on Raw in 2018 and 2019, including a King of the Ring win, Corbin would slide down the card and would only revitalize his career with a return to NXT in 2023.
Now, Corbin will have to prepare for a life outside WWE, and already has a career in mind if his days in wrestling are over. Stay tuned to SEScoops for the latest on Baron Corbin and his future outside of the Sports Entertainment promotion.
