Baron Corbin got quite the reaction after he hit Becky Lynch with his finisher.
Corbin recently spoke with Chris Van Vliet about his infamous End Of Days on Becky Lynch. Corbin teamed with Lacey Evans to face off with Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch at WWE Extreme Rules 2019. The former King of the Ring hit Lynch with the move, but Seth Rollins still ended up pinning Corbin to win the match.
Corbin told Van Vliet that not only was the move Vince McMahon’s idea, but he ended up getting death threats over it.
“And that was Vince’s idea. I was shocked when I got to the building. And it was in Philly, which I knew they were gonna go nuts for. That was Vince’s idea. And it was just like, what? Like, it’s crazy. And like the death threats after were all worth it. Totally worth it,” Corbin said. “Oh, dude, you have no idea. My Instagram messages and Twitter and all of those things. People were like, dude, I’m gonna stab you the next time I see you for what you did to Becky.
“I mean, if I get stabbed? Yeah, if I get stabbed? Yeah, definitely arrest that guy. But like, Yeah, cuz people, man like people buy into what we do. Like, that’s the art of what we do,” Corbin added. “Can we suspend disbelief? Can we make people think what we’re doing is 100% real and that people bought into that moment? They’re like, a grown man put his hands on a woman. I want to fight that guy. Like invoked this rage and people. And it was awesome.”
