Baron Corbin, Tegan Nox, Indi Hartwell gone from WWE | Wrestling Observer Radio

[@christophercudney5896]

I think Corbin would fit pretty decently in TNA

[@jasonhamon8005]

Correct. TNA also stinks

[@JWUniverse]

I thought the same thing!

Facts

[@UnsilencedOutspokenTikTok]

​@fiqridwan no AEW has enough people as it is...

[@JohnRigby5011]

Would he believe in Joe Hendry?

[@MarkieDood]

I could see Corbin doing exactly what Nic Nemeth did -- short but eventful tours of Japan and Mexico, and then settling into something more permanent in TNA.

[@staticcharm3808]

TNA is the wrestling dumping ground

[@pleaseshutup7053]

Corbin has never been on the Indy’s and doesn’t live and breath wrestling like Nic. Horrible comparison he is a wwe style wrestler

[@MarkieDood]

​@@pleaseshutup7053 You mean to tell me that Baron Corbin never wrestled outside the WWE system and has interests extra to his wrestling career? Gosh, you know who that sounds an awful lot like? NIC NEMETH!

[@pleaseshutup7053]

@@MarkieDood you completely missed the point nic nemeth was a star amateur collegiate wrestler and long time wwe fan he only and always wanted to be a wrestler. Baron corbin became a wrestler after a failed football career and he was recommended to pursue wrestling they are nothing alike

[@dravenquinn264]

Yeah I definitely agree NJPW is a great idea for Baron Corbin to start for him to go out and reinvent himself or TNA as well

[@dvlry]

Dude could totally do the bum Corbin character in another promotion and lean into getting released from WWE.

[@juniorkhomari1850]

So another wrestling promotion should promote the fact that a guy is depressed because he wad fired by the biggest wrestling company in the world? How does that not make them look inferior or small?

[@dvlry]

@@juniorkhomari1850Yeah you are right. Maybe it could be more of a crazy redemption arc angle. Dude seems like such a nice guy and I hope he finds happiness in whatever is next.

[@samoanjoseph1457]

I will admit I doubted Baron Corbin for a long time, but Bum Corbin made me a fan. Happy Corbin not so much, but Bum Corbin will live on in my memory as my favorite Corbin.

[@pleaseshutup7053]

Bum corbin lasted 3 weeks lol

[@PK-Stripper]

Corbin jumped through every hoop asked of him. At least offer him an office job. AEW doesn't need more bodies, they need to focus on 25 - 32 and every 3 months rotate the not over guys.

[@psyopticprodigy2427]

That's why Jericho has been on TV consistantly for 5 years.

[@six6thdisciple]

IT WONT HAPPEN

[@F1rsttimer]

Corbin should have been a backstage producer. He earned at least that.

[@vhvelazquez7187]

I,I,I,I,I guess

[@brianhopson2072]

Baron has enough money and enough connections that he can do other things if he wants to and as far as Indy and Tegan they both have really bad knees and can only do so much with their performances because of that. That's why they're not on TV as much as they are and with Indy she's barely on their other than a second handgun. I wonder what that's going to mean for Candice lerae if she's going to be getting a push

[@keni95851]

This

[@VirgilZandig]

Yeah, we're in a new era where guys who stay on the main roster for 5+ years could very well leave millionaires even if they never were in the main events. I'd hope Corbin is secure.

[@dngn4774]

Guys, Candice Lerae sucks. She has a lot of cred with the observer fanbase because she used to beat men in PWG but she doesn’t hold a candle to the top third of that Women’s roster. At least if she went to AEW she’d get outshined by 4 women instead of like 12.

[@vonVile]

Indi and Tegan would be perfect in TNA. They turn talent WWE doesn't know how to push into stars like; Steph De Lander, Xia Li and Ash. They are also using a lot of female NXT talent. Wendy Coo his this big feud with Rosemary with them having a No DQ match. It would be dumb for them to go to AEW. Tony can't even use the women he has right now.

[@Lionclaw]

Just say the obvious: both companies have TOO MANY PEOPLE on the roster. WWE could cut 30 more and they’d still have people sitting in the back doing nothing for weeks.

[@magtastic1757]

Respectfully I would love to see Corbin in TNA wrestling he still has great skills on the mic

[@dravenquinn264]

Yeah I definitely agree NJPW is a great idea for Baron Corbin to start for him to go out and reinvent himself or TNA as well.

[@josephcooke4678]

The women's roster in NXT is loaded right now so there had to be some movement on the main roster

[@JWUniverse]

Corbin and Indy would fit great in TNA… I was never a fan of Tegan thought she couldn’t move that well!

[@Scottoest]

The Vinci stuff is so confusing. They did weeks of teasers for his return building it up, then beat him in five seconds like a comedy jobber - okay, maybe there will be a story purpose to it - then they beat him again, then he disappears. What on earth was that about?

[@yazr1712]

I feel like they don't want to release him but don't want him wrestling either. 🤦🏽‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️

[@davidgalka7126]

​@yazr1712 sometimes you just have to wait till they find the right storyline for you look at audicy Jones he hung around for 2 years till they found a storyline for him and he blew it. Bronson Reed was just some guy got released come back and did really nothing till they found the right storyline for him

[@stevemygoodman7809]

I figured it was to hype up Apollo Crews since he never had a bigger pop than when he pinned Vici in 5 seconds. But nope lol

[@aarong3000]

This is just the beginning. I think a whole lot of women wrestlers are going to get released from WWE/NXT soon. NXT is bringing in new women on the roster every week and that show is like 90 percent women already. I’m shocked that Gigi Dolin didn’t get released along with Indi and Tegan. I guess they kept her because she opened up Halloween Havoc with her video intro!

[@yazr1712]

Corbin would be a perfect fit for BCC tbh. Dude would get heat. Has the shoot boxing background. Skinhead lmao. It could work.

[@gallosai]

Fired Corbin is his best gimmick to date.

[@jrk22233]

Corbin is going to be a star somewhere else

[@romedawg2095]

I was wondering what Indi meant when she said "One of us has to change." I didn't think it would be ominous a note of her release. Wow. Just when she and Candice were getting meaningful wins together. Stinks, dude.

[@samoanjoseph1457]

She's the only one that surprises me, sorta. If not for Candice I would have been more worried about Indi's chances in WWE. But that was a built in connection they could draw storylines from. With Corbin I felt they'd done everything they were going to do with him, and he did his best with anything they gave him. Teagan was injury prone and even when healthy, they never really did much for long with her. Surprised she lasted this long, really. I still remember when they replaced Ember Moon with her in the tag team with Shotzi with no warning, and I was like, WTF? That's actually the most memorable moment I have of her, so, yeah, no real shock...

[@master-of-mind5881]

Indie didn’t even know herself. She found out on Twitter! That is deep. 😭

[@rickyvenegas9286]

Corbin could have been a serious star when he came in as the lone wolf. They just kept booking him into obscurity

[@josephcooke4678]

Indy Hartwell was cut but she was on smackdown later that night. Weird time to release her

[@Sturmjaeger]

Wasn't that SD pre-recorded?

[@josephcooke4678]

@Sturmjaeger I know it was pre-recorded but I just thought it was a little weird that they were released someone earlier in the day knowing they were going to have her on TV that night. You would think they would have waited until Saturday maybe

[@Sky_Blaze]

Who cares ..smackdown made me so mad last night..bunch of women wrestling NOBODY WANTS TO SEE release another 10 women please

[@JRAYDABEAST]

I was actually shocked about Corbin getting released i was like come on he’s done everything you asked of him

[@shobitchouksey3442]

From this list aew should only get tegan nox no one else is worth it

[@kierenbuckley370]

wwe have tried everything with Corbin for years and nothing has worked, hes not gotten better hes not more over/gets heat

[@doug2731]

Lmao at these 4 minute clips. Yeah that'll encourage viewers to sign up!

[@SamoIsKing]

I've always liked Corbin. Guy could work, passable promo and some of his moves were awesome looking - especially his finish. He was a company guy and did everything they asked. I think he got way too much hate sometimes. If he wants to keep working he'll have no shortage of offers, if he wants to wind down he can take some time off then maybe get back into the WWE as a trainer or producer. He was great at making his offense look deadly while being safe a houses, would make a great trainer.

[@pleaseshutup7053]

Why would wwe hire him as a trainer or producer he brings nothing to the table

[@ronniesouthern7829]

Dave: I uhm uhm yeah I don’t know what to think uhm uhm I’m speechless.

[@eLite-Tiss91]

Alrighty I have to say... -Corbin had a good career in WWE and his Return to NXT was great too, hoping he joins AEW and Maybe team with Big Bill for a big guy tag team. -Indi claims to fame how she won the title during the indidex storyline, through she was still green and needed a new finisher. Cheers to hoping she finds something new in her life. 🍻 -Tegan was a genuine lost though she could been a stable for any Woman Division, I did like her feud with Dakota Kai for former bbf in storyline. Hope she does well ❤️‍🩹🤗

[@ramborhoa]

Tony needs to take note.

[@jasonhamon8005]

Number 1 on his "People to Never Sign" list

[@iamdb1990]

Tony's like "release someone? what does that mean?" lol

[@six6thdisciple]

BUT BUT TONY…

[@rogerbabin8175]

Corbin is great but was ruined by booking. I feel like this WWE stain means there's no chance AEW would pick him up. Maybe TNA does but I'm not even confident about that. I see Corbin a bit like how people view Austin Theory these days...a person with a ton of potential but not be given a proper chance to shine even though he's been in the ring with some big names from time to time. As a fan of his I hope he can build himself up over the next few years and get picked up by either AEW or WWE in the future to have a more serious run.

[@Derek_Gamble]

I don't expect to see Corbin anywhere after his release. Typical WWE made guy with no passion for wrestling, just the paycheck.

[@seazooryan6754]

Indi hartwell was horrible

[@robertoarsenal9044]

Indi has a lot of charisma she just wasn’t given a chance . But if I’m Tony Kahn I sign indi right away .

[@mrrobert9176]

If these were AEW wrestlers people would be throwing a fit. Weird how some wrestling fans think these guys should all have lifelong contracts

[@kenpachizaraki8509]

No she wasn’t 🙄

[@ThandrieDavis]

"Gone from WWE", "Departing" -- these passive-tense voices to describe being fired/released are crap

[@markfacebook]

How long before we see AEW fans come out of the wood-work saying that they've always been a fan of Baron Corbin?

[@nicodimus2222]

I hope someone gives Indi a chance. The other two I'd be fine with never seeing on TV again.

[@patricknguyen7530]

Out of the names released, I feel Nixon Newell, the now former Tegan Nox, can end up in AEW and I know people feel AEW has too many people but I feel Nixon could fit way better and I think AEW can hire more women anyways

[@SebastianMikulec]

Tegan Nox... Or I guess Nixon Newell again, what a bummer her career has been; talented gal, but kept getting injured. Wherever she goes, I hope she stays healthy and has a chance to flourish.

[@Tom_TheDon]

King Corbin 🥹🥹

[@Ryhan_Beard]

They're already teasing that they want to get Corbin to GCW for a couple of stints (maybe to face Effy?). I'm sure he'll end up in TNA though. Indi and Tegan will probably go there too. Tegan's history of injuries could make some promoters hesitant to hire her though.

[@shawngreenidge3591]

[@joemoneymondays]

Corbin in AEW, Indi in TNA

[@_Amit_Sunil]

Why does Dave hate Indi wrestling

[@RonJP-pm7jp]

Because she’s not that good wrestling.

[@noiisserpmii]

Corbin should go to TNA. Indi idk but i feel bad for Tegan bcuz she was gunna be a megastar in that first MYC. Then they built the second around her & she got hurt again. Still remember her saying i cant do this again please & being heartbroken. All 3 will rebound. AEW shouldnt dare take a look at any. Indi maybe TNA or ROH (no AEW)

[@ykdavid]

Corbin could be a great heel.

[@ramborhoa]

Good they were not being used.

[@MohdFahqim]

i would like them go to TNA.. hope so.. or Maple Leaf with ScottD Amore

[@davidmorales5766]

notice he didn't say anything about Tegan.

[@pleaseshutup7053]

He said she hasn’t been used for a long time what else is there to say lol

[@AdrianBeegoatz]

“A heavy skit promotion” AEW has literally been built on awful ‘skits’ by Dave’s little Buck buddies.
