Baron Corbin discusses the possibility of retiring in NXT.
Since the WWE Draft earlier this year, Baron Corbin has been a free agent but has found himself a regular on NXT television, delivering quality matches and a return to form in the character department.
While speaking on a recent episode of Insight With Chris Van Vliet, Baron Corbin discussed what he enjoys about the wrestling industry and recalled a conversation with his wife where he discussed the possibility of retiring in NXT.
‘‘I have a four-year-old and a one-and-a-half-year-old, and I’m going like, ‘I want them to see me wrestle and remember it too.’ Then I’m going, ‘Well, if it ends tomorrow…’ It’s an internal struggle for sure, because I love what I do,” Corbin said. “I love traveling. Even my wife is like, ‘Would you stay in NXT for the rest of your career?’ And I’m like, ‘Maybe,’ because I love traveling and performing in front of these different audiences and experiencing the different cultures and the different cities and countries and places throughout the world, from performing in Philly to Texas to Seattle to Toronto to Japan, to China to South America, to Mexico to Saudi Arabia. All of these countries I’ve been to and experienced the food and the city and the people and the appreciation for what we do. It’s going to be a very hard pill to swallow some day when that is gone, because that’s what you appreciate, is for me, those things.”

We will have to wait and see how much longer Corbin will remain an active member in NXT, but with his Free Agent status, that could end at any time.
