Baron Corbin, a notable free agent selected during the 2023 WWE Draft, remains flexible to WWE’s placement decisions, including potential appearances on NXT. This week, the Lone Wolf competed in a match on the developmental brand, and his bruised neck serves as a visible testament to the intensity of the encounter.
As we previously reported, the initiative to bring main roster talent to NXT originated from WWE CEO Nick Khan. This strategic move aims to elevate ratings and secure a more substantial payout in the forthcoming television rights deal negotiations.
In a social media post showcasing his gnarly neck bruise, Baron Corbin humorously expressed his confusion about the origin of the mark, stating, “I don’t even know how this happens.”
Additionally, Corbin cleverly incorporated a line from the film Tommy Boy into the video. While his delivery may not have matched Chris Farley’s comedic prowess after being struck with a 2×4 during their infamous roadside fight, it still entertained fans.
Naturally, one can only hope that Baron Corbin’s bruise subsides soon. Its presence suggests that a particularly intense and physically demanding encounter contributed to the noticeable mark on his neck.
