JBL is set to return with Corbin
According to PW Insider, WWE has plans for the Hall of Famer to appear on future RAW shows in some capacity. JBL last appeared on an episode of SmackDown in September. He offered to manager Happy Corbin. The outlet reported:
There was talk at Smackdown Friday night that WWE Hall of Famer JBL would be at the next several Raws in some capacity.
Since his main roster debut, Baron Corbin has undergone multiple character changes. From a corporate gimmick to the current Happy Corbin character, Baron Corbin’s character changes have been drastic and quite different from each other.
During an interview on the Johnny Dare Morning Show, Baron Corbin was quite open about his thoughts on working under Triple H. Baron Corbin credited Triple for much of his character during his NXT days and stated that Triple was looking to add more edge to his character. He said:
“He’s a guy who, when I came into NXT, he was a guy who really grabbed onto me and helped develop me and create who I was. My first entrance, he brought that whole motorcycle vibe, that drudgy rock music where I walked in, and I had spotlights over my head. That was all his vision. It’s cool to have him back because he has now kind of taken what I’ve been doing and going, ‘How do we put more edge back on you? How do we make you a little more badass again?’ That feels good to have that.”
