Colby Corino details why he's not under WWE contract

In a new interview, second generation wrestler Colby Corino went into detail as to his contractual situation with WWE or lack thereof.

Speaking to Matt Koon, Corino confirmed rumors that broke earlier this year that he received a WWE offer and had verbally agreed to a deal. He was told a background check was required which he wasn't concerned with since he already had one done years prior as part of his first WWE tryout.

The 26-year-old had been preparing to move his family to Florida in a leased apartment following getting an offer which he began to get anxious about due to not hearing anything for nearly a month.

"We were supposed to move to Florida on a Sunday and the Monday before, I get a call. I get told there was a problem with my background check and there was something from seven years ago that I needed to handle that and after that, I’d be good to go. Now, I’m good to go and it seems like that’s not the case anymore," he explained.

He went on to say that he doesn't have all the information about what happened, but for now, "It's not a closed door, but it’s kind of a ‘not right now’ thing."

He had no idea if the situation was due to a rumored hiring freeze caused by the impending merger between WWE and Endeavor.

The son of former ECW star and current WWE NXT producer/trainer Steve Corino, Colby wrestled once on 205 Live against Mansoor in 2020 in addition to working against Erik of the Viking Raiders during a Raw Underground segment.

He said he isn't sure what is next for him, but isn't rushing to figure it out or go anywhere.
