WWE Star Says Recent Win ‘Means More Than You Could Ever Know’

WWE

A WWE star has given a heartfelt response to a big recent win – saying that it “means more than you could ever know.”

In the opening bout of the 2024 Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic tournament,  the recently formed duo of Baron Corbin and Bron Breakker etched their name onto the trophy – defeating Trick Williams and Carmelo Hayes.

While the win ensures that The War Dogs are now officially the number one contender’s for the NXT Tag Team Championships, for Baron Corbin, the victory seems to carry much more personal significance than just the prospect of acquiring title gold.

Speaking in an exclusive WWE interview, Corbin described his feelings after the big win – heaping praise on Breakker while also discussing the man in which the tournament is in dedication to: The American Dream Dusty Rhodes.

“I mean, I feel good. Are you okay? Look at this, this man is a wrecking ball, freight train, running people over, putting them down.

“Now listen, months ago, when I asked him to be my partner, I was in a little rough spot.

“I needed a partner. I needed a partner I knew could just cause mayhem and be absolute destruction out there.

“That’s what he is. Nothing can stop this man. He cut ‘Melo in half tonight. We got our hands raised. We’re the Dusty Cup Champions.

“Listen, last night, we went out boot-shopping. We bought thousand-dollar boots because my man The Dream, who has sat with me and given me hours and hours and hours of knowledge, his boots are sitting on this.

“This trophy means more to me than you could ever know because The Dream was an idol to people like us. I got to work with him every day. We bought boots in his honor.

“Now, we have the most important boots in the world on a trophy with our names on it, and it’s going to my house right inside the whiskey closet. It’s a beautiful, big whiskey closet.”

Despite being guaranteed an NXT Tag Team Title opportunity it’s currently unclear whether The War Dogs will be remaining a unit in NXT – particularly with Bron Breakker looking to be imminently moving to the WWE main roster.
