Baron Corbin had no input on The End Of Days being kicked out of back at WrestleMania 38.
While Baron Corbin has been successful to a degree in WWE, but has had little to set him apart on the roster. One thing that previously had set him apart was his finisher, the End Of Days.
The finisher was one of the most protected in WWE in recent memory, with no one kicking out of the mood. However, at WrestleMania 38, Drew McIntyre would kick out of the move emphatically for the first time.
Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful spoke to Corbin and asked how much input he had in the decision.
“Zero input, zero. I fought it for a long time. I’ve always been a guy who has done everything they’ve asked, and I’ve been a guy who’s towed the line really well. I’ve taken characters that may have been difficult for some people to get over, and I’ve run with them, and I’ve made them something. I’ve evolved for eight or nine years, and I’ve never been World Champion. I’ve got a US Title, and I’ve always been in the World Championship stuff — with Roman [Reigns], with Seth [Rollins], multiple times fighting for the title but have never gotten it. So it’s like, man, the one thing I do have is no one’s ever kicked out of my finisher. [John] Cena didn’t. Roman didn’t. Seth didn’t. Kurt [Angle] didn’t. I thought that was really cool. Then WrestleMania came, and I was told that it was happening, and I was not thrilled by any means. It was not my call. We did it, and it’s done. That’s all I can say,”
