Former WWE Star Not Happy About Being Ignored By The Company

A former WWE star has admitted he wasn’t happy about the lack of acknowledgement he received during a recent show.

NXT Homecoming took place this past Tuesday, with NXT returning to its original home of Full Sail University for the first time in five years.

A number of current WWE stars who got their starts in the Full Sail era of NXT, and even a couple of names who aren’t active in the company anymore, were brought in for special appearances.

There were also acknowledgements throughout the show of many other names who weren’t present but had a part to play in NXT’s history.

One person who felt left out though was Bishop Dyer, formerly known as Baron Corbin.

Corbin started his NXT career all the way back in 2012 before being called up to the main roster in 2016, and ended up coming back around to NXT over 10 years after his debut to form the Wolf Dogs and become Tag Team Champion with Bron Breakker in 2024.

Speaking on Off The Ropes with Jonathan Coachman, Corbin commented on not being recognized during Homecoming. He said:

“So in brutal honesty, I was a little butthurt about the whole thing. That opening package they did for the show was super dope, and they had a lot of Superstars from the past, the middle and the present on it, and I didn’t make the cut.

“My T-shirt did, somebody was wearing a Baron Corbin T-shirt, but I was a little butthurt in that aspect.

“And I know it’s still fresh in WWE being as I finished up in January, and sometimes you’ve gotta kinda give it a year or so before they start acknowledging your existence again.

“But with that show, I was a main staple in the beginning of NXT, when they were counting the seconds to my matches. I was one of the originators who helped grow that brand. I was on every show. I was on the first live one in Brooklyn with 16,000 fans.

“So I was a little butthurt. Once I got over that, I thought the show was awesome.

“I even texted (Johnny) Russo the writer and I was like, ‘Yo, Mojo Rawley makes the cut of the video, and I don’t?’ I was, like I said, a little butthurt. He goes, ‘He was in the Camel Clutch.’ I was like, ‘I don’t care, he made it!'”
