Booker T: Baron Corbin Could Have Promising Future in Acting After WWE Exit

One Big Thing

WWE Hall of Famer Booker T believes Baron Corbin’s future might lie in Hollywood rather than the wrestling ring following his recent WWE departure.

Why It Matters

Corbin’s exit after 12 years with WWE represents another high-profile departure from the company, raising questions about career sustainability and post-WWE opportunities for performers.

By The Numbers

• 12 years with WWE
• Former NFL player (though short of pension eligibility)
• Notable achievements: King of the Ring winner, United States Champion, Money in the Bank winner

Key Details

• Corbin’s WWE contract wasn’t renewed, coinciding with releases of Tegan Nox and Indi Hartwell
• Booker T discussed Corbin’s prospects on his “Hall of Fame” podcast
• The WWE Hall of Famer specifically highlighted Corbin’s ability to handle scripted content

Direct Quote

“It’s an opportunity to move on and do something else, because I think Baron Corbin can act,” Booker T said. “He’s never been a guy that was a problem with the script… so acting I think will be a whole lot easier for him.”

The Big Picture

While many former WWE superstars transition to other wrestling promotions, Booker T’s suggestion highlights the broader entertainment opportunities available to performers who’ve developed their skills in WWE’s theatrical environment.

Looking Ahead

Whether Corbin pursues acting, returns to wrestling, or explores other opportunities, his WWE experience has equipped him with valuable performance skills that could transfer to various entertainment fields.
