NXT star Baron Corbin recently spoke with WWE.com. Here are the highlights.
Let’s begin with the elephant in the room. You recently attacked Austin Aries on his debut night with NXT. Why would you ruin such a big moment in his career?
Why would I do that? Why would I not do that? Some kid walks in here thinking he deserves a warm welcome. He wants everyone to stop what they’re doing and celebrate. I don’t have time for that. I am here chasing the NXT Championship. William Regal cost me my chance and then wants to throw Aries a big welcome. Not while I am around. Aries was just in the wrong place at the wrong time, and he paid for it. If he wants to cry about it, tell him to cry to Regal, because I don’t care about him or his welcoming party.
Over the last year, you’ve developed a reputation for yourself amongst some who believe you are highly self-centered and egotistical. How do you respond to such judgment?
Thank you, I guess. I have a lot of pride in myself and believe I am better than a lot of people. Most people settle in life, and that’s not me. I am going to be the best, make the most money and just do whatever I want, when I want. I don’t live for anyone other than myself, and I don’t have a problem showing people or telling them. The bottom line is the things I have done, the things I am doing, and the things I will do are better than anything you could ever dream of.
Explain to the world why Baron Corbin deserves to be the feature attraction all the time?
I don’t need to explain to anyone why I deserve to be a main attraction. Just sit there and watch, and you will see. You will understand very quickly. Some people have it and most don’t. I have it.
