Baron Corbin has an interesting pitch for WWE's creative team: The wrestler wants to "combine" all of his previous gimmicks into one amalgamated personality, and see what happens.

To date, Corbin has played around with 'Lone Wolf', 'Constable', 'King', 'Bum Ass' (broke version of his persona) and 'Happy' gimmicks. He enjoyed all of them for different reasons, but told 'Catch Club' he really liked how organic the broke character was.

Baron recalled fans trying to hand him money at ringside, which told him he was onto something special that had touched people. WWE then pivoted away from a potential breakout babyface run into the less-impressive 'Happy' persona.

Now, Corbin loves the idea of mixing everything together and borrowing from the best elements of each character. Yes, yes he wants to effectively become 'Baron Corbin: The Definitive Edition'. His free agency post-2023 Draft would enable Corbs to appear on both Raw and SmackDown too, so anything is possible.

In an interesting moment, Baron also said he thought the 'Lone Wolf' guise was a little too "one-dimensional". He compared it to the range Roman Reigns has as 'Tribal Chief', and admitted his old character was never going to reach that level.
