Baron Corbin wanted to work with a top WWE Superstar

Corbin never got to work with WWE legend Randy Orton during his 12-year run in the company. He recently made an appearance on the Busted Open podcast and opened up about the same:

"There's guys that I haven't got to work with that would have been fun. Damian Priest would have been awesome," Corbin said. "I never worked with Cody, Gunther, and I never had a real program with Randy, which would have been fun." [8:24 - 8:42]

Despite never winning a world title in WWE, Corbin was pushed on various occasions as a solid mid-card act. He won the WWE US Title once and also won the NXT Tag Team Titles with Bron Breakker.

Corbin is also an André the Giant Memorial Battle Royal winner. He won the trophy back in 2016. It remains to be seen if the former WWE Superstar finally manages to win a world title when he faces Latimer in two weeks.
