WWE Smackdown Live star Baron Corbin recently spoke with NOLA.com and below are some interview highlights:
On his WWE Fastlane Six Pack Challenge strategy:
“While guys are worrying about what John Cena and AJ Styles are doing, I can take Sami Zayn’s head off and walk out WWE champion,” said Corbin, who spent time on the rosters of the Indianapolis Colts and Arizona Cardinals from 2009 to 2011. “Pretty simple. I think that’s a good strategy to have. I’m going to keep my head on a swivel and take opportunities when I see them.”
On wanting to take John Cena’s WrestleMania moment away from him:
“I think it would be good retribution (to cost Cena on Sunday),” said Corbin, who is a three-time Golden Gloves champion. “To see the look on his face knowing his WrestleMania moment just got taken away, his dream of another WrestleMania championship match is taken away. It would make me feel good to know I played a role in taking his little dream.”
On ruining the AJ Styles vs Shinsuke Nakamura WrestleMania dream match:
“How many people can say they walked into WrestleMania as the WWE champion? I would like to watch all the people cry that they don’t get AJ Styles vs. Shinsuke Nakamura,” he said. “There’s a lot of gratification in that.”
