WWE has welcomed Baron Corbin back to the SmackDown roster.
The WWE Draft on April 27 brought various shifts in the lineup, and WWE took to social media to announce several supplemental draft choices after the initial SmackDown draft event.
While WWE RAW gained talents like Ivar, Alba Fyre, Isla Dawn, Shayna Baszler, and Zoey Stark, SmackDown acquired Baron Corbin, Cedric Alexander, Ashante “Thee” Adonis, and The O.C. (Karl Anderson, Luke Gallows, and Michin).
Baron Corbin makes his way back to the blue brand with a history of success from his time in NXT, notably winning the NXT Tag Team Championship alongside Bron Breakker. However, the reign was ended by Axiom and Nathan Frazer on NXT’s April 9 episode. Corbin then faced a defeat by Lexis King in an April 23 encounter.
Before this move, Corbin’s last aired match on the primary roster occurred in June 2023, ending in a loss to Butch during the June 9 SmackDown episode.
