JBL says if his run with Baron Corbin didn’t work, fans can blame him.
In late 2022 to early 2023, WWE Hall of Famer JBL had a run as Baron Corbin’s manager. The angle was ultimately dropped, and it was mostly panned by fans at the time.
JBL was a recent guest on Huge Pop. When asked about his time as Corbin’s manager, the legend admitted he was not sure what the plan was supposed to be. He also took the blame for the pairing not working out.
“I don’t know what happened, and I don’t know what the plan was,” JBL said. “They never told me…I remember coming into Oklahoma one time, and me cutting a promo on Oklahoma, that’s pretty easy being from Texas. I cut promos every day just for fun on Oklahoma.
“After that, they said, ‘Next week.’ ‘What’s next week?’ Then they started bringing me back, I never really knew if it was a long-term plan or what was planned. It didn’t work. If it didn’t, blame me. I’m the veteran. Baron is a good, talented guy. Very tough guy. Very smart guy. I like Baron. If it didn’t work, blame me. I’m the one that obviously dropped the ball.” [H/T: Fightful]
