More Details on Plans for Baron Corbin’s Major Push This Year, WWE Looking to Revamp His Character

April 20, 2017

As noted, Baron Corbin, along with Braun Strowman, are two WWE stars in line for major pushes in 2017, on the Smackdown and Raw brands, respectively. Strowman’s push kicked off in recent weeks against Roman Reigns, and will see the two face off in a singles match at WWE Payback on April 30th. Corbin, who headlined this week’s WWE Smackdown Live against AJ Styles, is currently working his way into the main event picture after feuding with Dean Ambrose for the IC Title prior to Ambrose’s move to Raw.

According to The Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Corbin’s big push is scheduled for later this year, and he is expected to feud with Randy Orton. It is unknown at the time whether or not the Orton vs Corbin feud will be for the WWE Title, as Orton first will be facing Jinder Mahal at WWE Backlash in May.

The Observer report also noted there have been talks of changing Corbin’s character, possibly with new music, and WWE officials are evaluating other ways they can revamp Corbin’s character before his program with Randy Orton.
