While speaking to Jonathan Coachman, former WWE star Baron Corbin (Tom Pestock) commented on being excluded from the WWE NXT “Homecoming” video package…

“So, in brutal honesty, I was a little butthurt about the whole thing. That opening package they did for the show was super dope, and they had a lot of superstars from the past, the middle and the present on it, and I didn’t make the cut. My T-shirt did, somebody was wearing a Baron Corbin T-shirt but, I was a little butthurt in that aspect and I know it’s still fresh in WWE, being as I finished up in January and sometimes you gotta kinda give it a year or so before they start acknowledging your existence again.

But with that show, I was a main staple in the beginning of NXT, when they were counting the seconds to my matches. I was one of the originators who helped grow that brand. I was on every show. I was on the first live one in Brooklyn with 16,000 fans. So I was a little butthurt. Once I got over that, I thought the show was awesome. I even texted (Johnny) Russo, the writer, and I was like, ‘Yo, Mojo Rawley makes the cut of the video and I don’t?’ I was, like I said, a little butthurt. He goes, ‘He was in the Camel Clutch.’ ‘I don’t care, he made it!’” (quote courtesy of Andrew Thompson)
