During a recent interview on SiriusXM’s Busted Open Radio, newly crowned WWE United States Champion Baron Corbin discussed having something to prove with his WWE return. He also discussed having a full-circle moment with Triple H after his title win at WWE SummerSlam. Below are some highlights (via WrestlingInc.com):

Baron Corbin on His Entrance at WWE SummerSlam

“I had to prove a lot of people a lot of things, and myself a lot of things, and that first 30 seconds through that entrance, it was like ‘Don’t get overly emotional,’ because it felt that way. I had to swallow that nervousness and put it down and just keep my mind on where I wanted to go, and where I wanted to take that, and not let the excitement mess with my performance or my ability to just beat the living crap out of somebody. It was insane.”

On His Moment With Triple H After the Match

“It’s a really cool moment though, cause Hunter’s had my back since Day 1. I have a picture of me and him, like before he did the point where we’re just shaking hands, and it’s a picture; it was after I debuted in ‘NXT,’ and he was like, ‘Alright, we’re on our way.’ So it kind of felt like a full-circle moment for that as well.”

At WWE SummerSlam, Baron Corbin defeated Trick Williams to win the WWE US Title for the second time in his career.
