After Championship Loss, Corbin Incinerates His Past to Forge a Stronger Future
“Last Tuesday sucked. I didn’t walk out of there the NXT champion like I thought I would. Now I’m embarrassed. And I’m pissed off,” Baron Corbin candidly expresses his disappointment after losing an NXT Championship Match. However, instead of wallowing in defeat, Corbin is determined to incinerate his past and build a stronger future.
Corbin’s resolve is clear as he states, “I’ve got everything I want. The money, the fame, the family. What I don’t have is the reputation.” He yearns not just to be seen as consistent, safe, or good, but to be feared and respected. Corbin is ready to redefine his image in the wrestling world, stating, “I want people to say, who’s next for Corbin? Not who’s Corbin gonna be next.”
In a symbolic act of letting go of the past and embracing the future, Corbin declares, “I have to kill it. I don’t need anyone bowing down to me. I don’t want a position of authority. Doesn’t matter if I have pockets, or what’s inside. I damn sure don’t need a manager. And I haven’t worked eight long years to go all the way back to the beginning. Burn all the ships. I can’t go back. There’s no going back. It’s no more gimmicks, no nonsense. No bull [BLEEP].”
