Baron Corbin Explains How He First Developed His Finisher

Speaking on Insight with Chris Van Vliet recently, Baron Corbin related the story of how he first utilized his End of Days finisher (via Wrestling Inc). According to Corbin, the move was a result of a freeform sparring session with Sami Callihan at the WWE Performance Center. You can find a few highlights and listen to the complete interview below.

On how the finisher first manifested: “At the Performance Center, we have a crash pad ring. You can go in there and try things. A kid named Sami Callihan, I was playing around with him in the ring, and he does this thing where he springs off the bottom rope and catches you for a DDT. And I was just messing with him, and he jumped, and I caught him, and I did the End of Days on him. We both sat up and looked at each other and said, ‘Wait a second. What was that?'”

On using it as his signature: “It was a complete accident, and it’s just been something that’s really kinda put me on the map. It’s a cool, unique, first-time ever seeing this finish, finish. And I protected it with every bit of my might.”
