On Instagram, Corbin uploaded a video where he takes the clothesline mentioned. Then, he reveals needing to having his ear glued back together. “When @otis_wwe clubs you with his big Bear Paw you have to glue your ear back together haha. I love it!” Despite needed his body glued back together, Corbin seems in great spirits. It could be because of the match was solid.
Corbin joined the main roster about a decade ago. WWE had high hopes for him and it showed. He retired Kurt Angle and WrestleMania and even won Money in the Bank. But, he lost his title match in seconds on SmackDown. Rumor has it, Corbin spoke-up during a backstage meeting and it did not go over well. Following that, he was given a ton of angles with little progress. Since returning to NXT, it has dramatically helped both Corbin and the talent he works beside. So, any thoughts on Baron Corbin needing his ear glued after taking a shot from Otis. Is a receipt coming?
