Former WWE star Baron Corbin suggests his daughter will become a professional wrestler
Baron Corbin recently predicted that his daughter will soon become a WWE Superstar.
In an exclusive interview with Sportskeeda Wrestling’s Bill Apter last year, the former United States champion noted that many fans were unaware that he had children. Corbin claimed that his daughter was already out of her mind and predicted that she would eventually become a professional wrestler.
“It’s funny, a lot of people never realize that I have kids, which is something people don’t know. I have two daughters. One of them is five years old and she’s definitely going to be a WWE Superstar. She’s crazy and she’s already throwing punches off the couch, so is maybe something a lot of people don’t know about me,” Corbin said. [3:54 – 4:10]
