Baron Corbin

Like him or loathe him, and you probably loathe him, the ruthless one-time king Baron Corbin has always been a force to be reckoned with.

A former NFL player whose aggression got him booted from the game, Corbin had found the perfect outlet for his rage in WWE, and the perfect target for it in, well, anyone and everyone who crossed his path.

Less a Superstar than a force of nature, The Lone Wolf first made his mark on The Grandest Stage of Them All when he eliminated Kane from the third annual Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal to win the bout and stake his claim as the legendary giant’s heir apparent. 

He battled rivals like Roman Reigns, AJ Styles, Sami Zayn and more, and won the Money in the Bank Ladder Match and the United States Championship in the process. Corbin even ended WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle’s career at WrestleMania 35 and won the 2019 King of the Ring Tournament. Loathe him? How could you not?

When Corbin lost his crown the King Nakamura, it kicked off a series of unfortunate events in which he lost all him money, property and even family. He was even fined for inappropriate dress by WWE. Left with nothing, he began to beg anyone who would listen for outlandish amounts of money and even stole the Money in the Bank contract from Big E.

After winning it all back in Vegas and forming a brief alliance with WWE Hall of Famer JBL, though, Corbin went back on his own. In mid 2023, Corbin stepped back onto the NXT brand, becoming a force of nature as he looked to reinvent himself. Re-invent himself he did, forming a partnership with Bron Breakker where the two won the 2024 Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic before capturing the NXT Tag Team Titles.

Now on SmackDown, with a new demeanor, Corbin is ready to take on all comers.
