Baron Corbin has revealed he had no input into Drew McIntyre kicking out of End of Days.
At WWE WrestleMania 38, Drew McIntyre defeated Baron Corbin. During the course of the match, McIntyre became the first man to kick out of Corbin’s finisher, End of Days.
Corbin had one of the most protected finishers in modern history with no one kicking out of End of Days for several years.
Speaking with Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp, Baron Corbin revealed he had no input into the decision to have McIntyre kick out of the move. He stated:
“Zero input, zero. I fought it for a long time. I’ve always been a guy who has done everything they’ve asked, and I’ve been a guy who’s towed the line really well.”
“I’ve taken characters that may have been difficult for some people to get over, and I’ve run with them, and I’ve made them something. I’ve evolved for eight or nine years, and I’ve never been World Champion.”
“I’ve got a US Title, and I’ve always been in the World Championship stuff — with Roman [Reigns], with Seth [Rollins], multiple times fighting for the title but have never gotten it.”
“So it’s like, man, the one thing I do have is no one’s ever kicked out of my finisher. [John] Cena didn’t. Roman didn’t. Seth didn’t. Kurt [Angle] didn’t. I thought that was really cool.”
“Then WrestleMania came, and I was told that it was happening, and I was not thrilled by any means. It was not my call. We did it, and it’s done. That’s all I can say.”
Baron Corbin is currently on the NXT brand. He will face Bron Breakker at NXT No Mercy on Sunday, September 30.
