WWE SmackDown star Baron Corbin recently appeared on All Things Wrestling Radio and during the interview, he spoke about his 2017 in the WWE including winning the Money in the Bank briefcase.
Corbin, who is a former offensive lineman for the National Football League’s Indianapolis Colts and Arizona Cardinals as well as a three-time Golden Gloves champion and former grappling champion, signed with WWE in 2012. After spending time in NXT, he was called up to the main roster.
In July, Corbin won the Money in the Bank match for a WWE Championship opportunity and became the third wrestler to fail to win his cash-in match. In this interview, he revealed when he was told that he was going to cash-in the briefcase.
“It was kinda like an hour before [SmackDown Live],” said Corbin. “We discussed, and then they made a decision that was gonna be the night. It didn’t work out, but, yeah it was definitely about an hour before. I mean, it’s the fun part of this business. You never know what your day is gonna hold. Some things could be very, very last minute. It could be at that very last second. So, it’s pretty wild, and it keeps you on your toes. That’s for sure.”
