WWE NXT star Baron Corbin recently spoke with CBS Pittsburgh to promote NXT and NXT Takeover Dallas, and below are some interview highlights:
On pro football being his ticket to WWE:
“For me, that was all my ticket to get here to the WWE. That’s what I wanted to do since I was little and going to shows with my dad. So, that was my window. That was my opportunity. That’s what helped me get here.”
On embracing the hate he might get from NXT fans:
“It’s just my attitude. I’m gonna do what I want when I want to do it, and if people don’t like it they can either change their mind or deal with it.”
On working with top NXT talent:
“I’m getting opportunities to get in there and tangle it up with these guys, and of course I learn every single time. I learn what to do, what not to do.”
On working WWE main roster live events:
“I’m seeing some main roster loops…and working with those guys. It’s just making me better and tailoring me into the superstar that I aim to be.”
Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.
