Baron Corbin Aiming to Make an Example Out of Lil Yachty at WWE Sunday Night’s Main Event

Baron Corbin recently opened up about why he challenged Lil Yachty to a match at WWE Sunday Night’s Main Event.

Last month, Corbin challenged Trick Williams’ associate to a match for the September 6 event, declaring that if Yachty manages to survive five minutes in the ring, he will give Trick another shot at the US Championship on the same night.

Appearing on Busted Open Radio recently, Baron Corbin revealed he intends to make an example out of Lil Yachty to prove that wrestling isn’t for everyone. He claimed that Yachty will regret stepping inside the ring with him when he knocks a diamond out of the latter’s teeth.

Here’s what the WWE US Champion said (via Fightful)

On his mindset behind challenging Lil Yachty

“My mindset, number one, is to prove to the entire world that this job is not for everybody. That’s the fact. We get people with celebrity status, on YouTube or whatever it is, and they go, ‘I wanna be a WWE Superstar.’ I’m gonna show him very quickly that ‘No, not everybody can do that. You’re a hype man!’ I’ll give it to him; he’s funny; he’s got a lot of personality. I think people enjoy his music; I don’t know. If you offered me ten grand right now, I couldn’t name a song. It’s not for me; I’m a rock and roll guy. I like my metal and my folky music. I’m not saying he’s not talented because he probably has more Instagram followers than me, and I think he does arenas; I’m not sure.”

On what he intends to do to Lil Yachty at WWE Sunday Night’s Main Event

“It’s gonna be bad. It’s not gonna be fun for him. He’s gonna immediately regret his decision. It’s gonna be like all those things like [fuck] around and find out. He’s gonna find out. People think like, ‘Oh, wrestling is entertainment,’ but when I crack him in the teeth and knock one of them giant diamonds out, I’m gonna put it in my pocket number one because my pants have pockets. I’m gonna keep it, I’m gonna pawn it and buy something cool, maybe a new watch. I think it’s gonna be a rude awakening for him. When Triple H goes, ‘Hey Yachty, do you ever wanna have a second match here in WWE?’ He’s gonna go, ‘No, I’m good, just leave me with my Diamond kendo stick and a microphone.’ I think that’s where he belongs.’”
