WWE Superstar King Corbin recently spoke with Houston Chronicle and opened up on the infamous dog food segment from SmackDown Live, which received a lot of criticism from fans on social media.

Corbin talked about the dog food segment being his favorite thing to do in his feud with Roman Reigns, and stated that covering The Big Dog in dog food was "a blast". Corbin added that the amount of hate the fans showered upon him during the segment was amazing.

"Definitely covering him in dog food was a blast aside from the smell - it got on me as well. But that level of guttural hatred that I heard when we were doing it was awesome and the moment was right. I think it was old school and it was just nasty. And I think outside the box. It was a lot of fun to do."

Corbin also discussed his initial reaction when he heard about the segment,

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
