It was clear that he wasn't going anywhere as he was constantly being released by his teams, therefore he signed with the WWE in August 2012.

In 2019, Corbin is currently embroiled in a rivalry with Braun Strowman, whilst also having issues with Kurt Angle at the same time which means that he is wrestling in an effective role.

However, Corbin has also been a two-time Kansas-Missouri Golden Gloves regional champion which makes him successful in the world of Amateur Boxing.
