Early in October, news broke that WWE was planning to part ways with Corbin, Indi Hartwell, and others. Corbin had been with WWE since 2012.

Throughout his run in WWE, Corbin had highs and lows. He famously retired Kurt Angle after a match at WrestleMania 35, but also is one of the only Money in the Bank briefcase winners to unsuccessfully cash-in his contract.

Corbin was a fixture of NXT black and gold from 2014 to 2016 and made his main roster debut as part of the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal at WrestleMania 32. Corbin was victorious in that main roster debut.

In WWE, Corbin is a former King of the Ring winner, United States Champion, and NXT Tag Team Champion with current WWE Intercontinental Champion, Bron Breakker.
