Fightful’s report noted that while Baron Corbin appears in MLW, he was not under contract with the company. It was also disclosed by sources within WWE that the publication spoke to that they wouldn’t be surprised to see him return following his release.

Corbin’s contract with the company expired in December 2024, and it was not renewed. He is currently in a tag team with Donovan Dijak, and they are the reigning MLW World Tag Team Champions. The 44-year-old won the United States Championship once during his time on the main roster and is also a former NXT Tag Team Champion alongside The Vision’s Bron Breakker.

Baron Corbin discusses being hurt by WWE not renewing his contract

Wrestling veteran Baron Corbin opened up about the company’s decision not to renew his contract a couple of years ago.

Speaking with Chris Van Vliet on the INSIGHT podcast, the former United States Champion shared that he was hurt by his contract not being renewed. Baron Corbin noted that he had put in a lot of work to reinvent himself before his departure. However, The Lone Wolf also shared that his departure lit a fire under him as well to succeed outside the company.

“I think that for me, with my contract ending in WWE, deciding not to renew, obviously that hurt and lights a fire, because I felt like in my WWE career I was in uncharted water, in a sense. I had gone to NXT, reinvented myself and put a lot of work into it,” Corbin said. [H/T: chrisvanvliet.com]

Corbin teamed up with Apollo Crews in a loss to Los Garza (Angel and Berto) in his last televised match with the company in August 2024. Only time will tell if the former champion gets the opportunity to return to the company.
