Baron Corbin says he did not beg to get his job back with WWE
While speaking to Busted Open Radio, Baron Corbin talked about his 2026 return to WWE. Here is what Corbin had to say…
“I think the coming-back process was awesome because I never once in that year and a half that I was gone reached out. You saw that interview Hunter [Triple H] was like, ‘Well, guys are always texting me, ‘I want to come home.”
I never did that. If they want me back, they’ll call me. I’m not going to beg for a job.
I love that place, and I had communication through the time I was gone with Hunter, but it was never like work. I got to text him, ‘Hey, congrats on this,’ or, like, ‘How’s the family? How are the girls?’ Those kinds of things. And even a few other people there. I stayed in touch with a couple of the talent, but it was always—there was never that line was never crossed of, like, ‘Hey, what would you think about me coming back?’
And then eventually they did reach out, and, we had a conversation in December that was very brief, and it didn’t go anywhere because it was like, ‘Hey, you know, what would you think? Would you be interested in that?’ I think the reply was, ‘I would be open to a conversation.’
I’m not pressed. I’m doing things out here. I’m building back the reputation behind the name. I’m racking up those wins. I’m getting titles outside of here, traveling the world, kind of doing a thing that I missed that a lot of people get to do before they come to WWE.
I’m upping my game. I wrestled in Mexico and Australia and Europe and all those places, and it kind of leveled up my in-ring ability, which was amazing.”
