Last week on Smackdown, Baron Corbin declared that he’s finally rich again and apparently the happiest man in the world. Read on to know more.
Ever since he lost the title of King of WWE, Baron Corbin was being portrayed as broke and helpless as he would go around asking people for money, doing crazy stuff to earn some, create a Corbin Fund Me account and even steal Lince Dorado’s wallet. But that chapter in his story seems to have been ended as Lady Luck has finally arrived on Corbin’s doorstep who is finally rich again and apparently the happiest man in the world.
Read on to know how this happened.

How Did Baron Corbin Become Rich Again?
A few months back, word had got out that WWE had trademarked ‘Happy Corbin’ as the Universe started speculating what this meant for the future of the former King of WWE. And now we know what it meant. Happy Corbin is finally here and he made his first appearance last week on the 27th August edition of Friday Night Smackdown.

It seems to be that luck knocked on Corbin’s doorstep when he was in Las Vegas for his Summerslam match with Big E. Though he lost the match, he won big enough in the Sin City to fix all his financial troubles, get his wife to let him back in the house, and become a happy, well-off man, once again.

On Smackdown, Corbin arrived in a Bentley, all cleaned-up and with a new theme song. He even attempted to buy Big E’s for the Money in the Bank briefcase, offering to pay him as much as $100,000 for it. However, Big E was smart enough to turn down the offer.

What’s Next For Baron Corbin?
According to a PWInsider report, Baron Corbin’s social media will be used as a storyline to be played all week before Smackdown, at which there will be a story twist. WWE filmed a lot of content surrounding Corbin in Vegas over the weekend. Reports said they had even planned to film content with illusionist Criss Angel in Vegas, but we have no word as to whether it was actually done or when it would be showcased.
As of now, Baron Corbin does not have a new opponent. He is a happy man overwhelmed with his luck. But let’s see how long this lasts. Things might change if and when Happy Corbin chooses to appear on Monday Night Raw.
