With regards to Baron Corbin’s “debut” at NXT Takeover 2 last night, Corbin, who is a former NFL player, has worked numerous NXT events in the past, but since WWE is now giving him a renewed push, they decided to give him a “clean slate” and bill his Takeover 2 appearance as his NXT debut.
Corbin’s real name is Tom Pestock, and he is a former Guard for the Arizona Cardinals.
In other Takeover 2 news, Mojo Rawley, who suffered a cut on his face during his bout against Bull Dempsey, is coming off a recent knee injury.
