Baron Corbin Discusses What He’s Learned From John Cena, Triple H’s Success With NXT

– Baron Corbin did an interview with Denver’s KS1075 and discussed working with John Cena, Triple H’s impact on NXT and more. Highlights are below, per WZ:

On Triple H’s influence on NXT’s success: “He’s extremely hands on, and I think that plays in part of the success, with what Triple H has created. Just with the [WWE] Performance Center, and giving these guys the opportunity to be—Shawn Michaels is there now, that’s insane—it’s crazy that you’re given these opportunities in a place like that. The coaches and the quality of the facility; there’s seven rings, a weight room, training staff, rehabilitation for injuries, all of those things. You’re given every opportunity to succeed and Hunter is extremely hands on. He’s there at every NXT taping, every NXT live event, he helps guys grow. He’s one of the greatest there’s ever been, and he’s still going. He’s in touch with what’s going on. He’s competing next week in Australia [at WWE Super Show-Down] against The Undertaker, so you have a guy that’s still in the moment of everything WWE is doing, helping to mold the younger talent. It’s unbelievable.”

On what he learned from working with John Cena: “John Cena, say what you want about the guy, but he is unbelievable in every aspect of WWE. What he does with kids from Make-A-Wish and to how he controls a ring and a crowd in the moment. He knows—he never misses a moment. I haven’t been here that long, I’ve been on the main roster for two-and-a-half years, so I’ll miss a moment here or there, that I just don’t see or feel. He just does not miss anything; he’s incredible. I got to do two months of matches with him, and you just learn so much every second being in the ring. There will be times where you just stand there and watch, and you’re like ‘this guy is something special’. I worked with him in China two weeks ago, and even in China—a crowd that is semi-familiar with what we do—he knows how to control every moment and every second of every match.”
