“Oh, I’m so excited to be a part of MLW. They are doing some amazing things. They just want to grow and be a massive entity in this world. That’s the most exciting thing about wrestling right now, it’s so hot all over, at all levels. So, when you’re getting MLW bringing in talent, they’ve got major stars. I’m going out there, and they are going to do some amazing things," he said. (H/T - Fightful)

Baron Corbin says he wants to become MLW World Champion

The former SmackDown star never held a world title in WWE. However, he could become the next MLW World Champion.

Baron Corbin told Ariel Helwani that he wanted to hold the title.

"Our venue that we were supposed to do next month, they already had to upgrade the venue because it sold out, so they’re moving to a bigger venue. So, that speaks volumes on what they’re doing in terms of putting on a show and bringing stars in. (...) For me, I’ve already committed to a few shows with them, so, it’s not a one-stop shop. We’re going to do a few, and hopefully continue on. I mean, I would love to hold the MLW Championship," the former Corbin said.

Baron Corbin left WWE last year after his contract expired. He was part of the SmackDown roster before his exit.
