Rumors surrounding a potential WWE return for Baron Corbin continue to circulate, and the former WWE star has once again addressed the speculation.
Recent reports have suggested that Corbin has finished his run with Major League Wrestling, with Fightful Select noting that his final appearance for the promotion took place on May 9 in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Following that development, talk of a WWE comeback gained momentum, with indications that he could be on his way back to the company.
Corbin, whose real name is Tom Pestock, had previously pushed back on similar reports. This week, he revisited the topic with a brief response on social media, writing, “Didn’t we do this exact same thing last month?” The comment reflects his ongoing stance as speculation continues without official confirmation.
Baron Corbin WWE Return Rumors Continue After MLW Run Ends
Corbin’s WWE departure occurred in late 2024 when the company chose not to renew his contract. After leaving, he quickly transitioned into other opportunities across the wrestling scene. He made his independent debut in a Bloodsport match under the GCW banner, facing Josh Barnett in a bout that drew attention for its unique ruleset.
In the months that followed, Corbin competed for several promotions, including Adrenaline Championship Wrestling, Banger Zone Wrestling, and House of Glory. His time outside WWE also included a run in MLW, where he formed a tag team with Donovan Dijak. The duo, known as The Skyscrapers, captured the MLW World Tag Team Championship during their time together.
MLW recently addressed Corbin’s status on Fusion, stating that both sides had reached an “impasse” in contract discussions. As part of the storyline, Corbin reportedly made a series of demands, including a $190,000 Range Rover and a five-star hotel suite valued at $2,000 per night.
The promotion indicated that further developments regarding Corbin’s future will be revealed on the next episode of MLW Fusion. The outcome could determine whether his run with the company has officially come to an end, while speculation about a WWE return continues.
