Baron Corbin shows off new look post WWE departure

Baron Corbin has unveiled a new look following his departure from WWE. The former SmackDown star posted a picture on Instagram showing the change in his appearance.

Corbin's 12-year tenure with the global juggernaut came to an end earlier this month as he left the company a couple of days before Crown Jewel. The Lone Wolf announced his exit on social media. It was later reported that his contract expired and the company decided not to renew it.

While Baron Corbin has yet to make an in-ring return, he unveiled a new look during his time away from the squared circle. The former United States Champion was seen sporting a salt and pepper beard and glasses just like Jean Reno in Léon: The Professional. Corbin also noted that his look was inspired by Leon, a popular movie character.

Baron Corbin believes WWE 'fumbled the bag' by letting him go

Baron Corbin joined WWE in 2012 with no prior pro wrestling experience. He was assigned to NXT upon his arrival and remained part of the developmental brand for nearly four years. The 40-year-old was a force to be reckoned with on the brand, despite not winning a title in his first stint there.

Corbin received a major push upon his main roster debut in 2016, winning the Andre the Giant Battle Royal on his debut at WrestleMania 32. He also won the King of the Ring Tournament in 2019 and the Money in the Bank Ladder Match in 2017. However, The Lone Wolf lost momentum in the last few years of his tenure and was mostly used as a stepping stone for up-and-coming talents.

Following his exit from the company, a fan noted that WWE "fumbled the bag" by letting Corbin go. The six-foot-eight-inch star replied that he agreed with the opinion.

The former United States Champion has received a lot of love from the pro wrestling world since his exit from WWE. Fans are eagerly waiting to see where the 40-year-old star goes next.
