Top WWE Superstar says he misses Baron Corbin
The WWE NXT roster has felt the wrath of Baron Corbin since he returned to the brand as a free agent in May of last year. The villainous star has not been back to the main roster locker rooms since June 2023, and at least one top star is missing him.
Baron Corbin and Drew McIntyre teamed up more than a dozen times from 2018-2019, picking up a RAW DQ win over Braun Strowman and Kurt Angle and a Handicap Match win over Finn Balor. The veterans then worked against each other several times from 2020-2023, with McIntyre winning three RAW singles bouts against Corbin.
The rivalry picked back up in early 2022 as McIntyre feuded with the former Constable Corbin and Madcap Moss. The Scottish Psychopath defeated Corbin and Moss in a Handicap Match just days before WrestleMania 38, then McIntyre defeated Corbin again in just under nine minutes on Night One of the big event.
McIntyre took to his Instagram Stories tonight to re-post a clip from the official WWE Deutschland page, which touts how he became the first superstar to kick out of Corbin's End of Days finisher. After the kickout, the former 3MB member leveled The Lone Wolf with the Futureshock DDT, then a Claymore Kick for the win.
In re-posting the 'Mania clip, McIntyre included a brief caption for his former right-hand man.
"MISS U @BARONCORBINWWE," McIntyre wrote.
Corbin has not publicly responded as of this writing. He and Bron Breakker retained the NXT Tag Team Championship over Chase University's Andre Chase and Duke Hudson on Tuesday at the Roadblock 2024 special.
TNA star proposes major WWE angle at WrestleMania 40
The 40th annual WrestleMania event is set to take place in less than one month when the WWE Universe packs Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, PA.
Night Two of WrestleMania XL is set to feature Roman Reigns defending the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship against Cody Rhodes. Night Two is also expected to feature Seth Rollins defending the WWE World Heavyweight Championship against Drew McIntyre, but at one point, the match was rumored for Night One. Night One will feature Rollins and Rhodes vs. Reigns and The Rock instead.
Chris Bey recently took to X and called on fans to imagine a blockbuster scenario on The Grandest Stage of Them All. The current TNA World Tag Team Champion caused a stir among fans when he commented on The Tribal Chief possibly getting the pin on both nights.
"Imagine this. Night one of mania, Roman pins Seth. Night two, Roman pins Cody," he wrote.
The American Nightmare and The Visionary will be on SmackDown tonight to finalize match plans with The Bloodline. As proposed by The Rock, they have teased that The Bloodline will be banned from ringside during Rhodes vs. Reigns if The Brahma Bull and The Head of The Table lose the tag team match on Night One. If Rock and Reigns win on Night One, then the title match would be held under Bloodline Rules.
