Megan Morant caught up with Corbin for an exclusive interview following SmackDown. She asked him if he feels his career is slipping away from him. Corbin didn’t say a word and simply nodded his head in disapproval. One could easily see the dejection on his face.
After an awkward silence, Megan Morant asked Corbin about him losing a lot of money he invested. He said, “Hundreds. A hundreds and thousands of dollars. I mean, I was a wealthy man. And now?”
Corbin didn’t continue his statement and simply looked away in dejection.

Ultimately, the once ‘King’ looked completely somber as Morant understood it wasn’t the best of times to interview him. Now, this little interaction, this somberness from Corbin, strongly makes us believe he’s in line for a major character change.
Speaking of character change, there are two ways WWE can go with him. One, they could do the unthinkable, turning him into a righteous babyface. Or two, this dejection and downfall could lead him to bring back his ‘Lone Wolf’ gimmick.
