After his initial success as a despised villain, Baron Corbin’s persona was rebranded as Happy Corbin, which only fueled the flames of fan hatred. He later disappeared from WWE programming, only to resurface as Baron Corbin alongside JBL.
Before that, Baron Corbin’s character was known as “Bum Ass Corbin,” who seemed to have the worst luck imaginable. Interestingly, his struggles garnered sympathy from the WWE Universe. That nickname was one given to him by Pat McAfee.
While speaking on the Johnny Dare Morning Show, Baron Corbin talked about his possible change in gimmick. Corbin revealed that he is currently in the process of getting new ring gear.
“Right now, we’re just trying to find a new gear and get running with it. We’ll see what happens.”

Many fans felt Baron Corbin’s best character was his ‘bum’ gimmick from 2021. In fact, even Corbin thought WWE was going to turn him babyface with that gimmick. We’ll have to wait and see if he reverts back to the ‘bum’ gimmick in the end.
