Fightful Select has reported that Baron Corbin was at a Netflix commercial/filming shoot for WWE just six days before being informed his contract would not be extended.
The former United States Champion, who has been active on social media giving thanks to those who have supported him, replied to Sapp’s post with a confirmation of the report.
WWE’s media rights deal with Netflix sees Raw airing on the streaming platform starting in 2025, with international markets gaining access to much of what once was the WWE Network including SmackDown, NXT, and the company’s premium live events.
Corbin was one of three departures from WWE in the past week, with Indi Hartwell and Tegan Nox being released from the company.
