Former WWE United States Champion Baron Corbin has currently returned to NXT. He is currently aiming to capture the NXT Championship.
The Lone Wolf’s finishing move, the End of Days, is one of the most protected moves. During a recent interview with Chris Van Vliet, Corbin revealed that his finisher was in fact an accident.
“Not a joke. Same with Deep Six too. We were playing around at the Performance Center, we have a CrashPad ring. And we can go in there and try things and 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. I was just messing with him. And he jumped and I caught him, I did the End of Days on him. And we both sat up and looked at each other like wait a second. What was that?”
It put me on the map
The pair knew they were onto something cool, so they did it again and filmed it. Baron Corbin says he sent it to Billy Gunn, who joked that he was going to use it first.
“I was like, ‘Yo, I think this is my finish’ because I was really trying to find a finish at the time. He’s like, ‘That’s awesome. I’m going to use it tonight against The Shield.’ And I said, ‘Don’t you dare, I will fight you when you come back.’ And he didn’t he was just messing with me. But so it was a complete accident. And it’s just been something that really kind of put me on the map. It’s a cool, unique first time ever seeing this finish. And then I protected it with every bit of my might.”
How would you rate the End of Days?
