Baron Corbin recently spoke to Sporting News about making it to the quarterfinals of King of the Ring and how he feels about being despised by WWE fans:
Baron Corbin on his sitting on the King of the Ring throne last week:
It felt so good. You know, I used to actually have a throne very similar to that in my house. I miss it. So now, I’m going to need a new one. I need a bigger crown, though. I was a little worried that one was going to fall off. I’ve got a big head. Especially because my head is going to grow a little bit more, ego is going to kick in a little bit more. I’m definitely going to need a bigger crown.

Baron Corbin on being RAW’s top heel:
(laughs) I take pride in that! How can I not be excited and have energy about that fact right there? I even said it on TV the other night – there was a poll, and this was a real thing, that the WWE Universe wanted anybody, and I mean absolutely anybody, to win King of the Ring but me.
It entertains me to watch how angry and frustrated they get, especially when you have a six-year-old kid and then like an 85-year-old woman both giving you the finger in the front row. That – I take pride in that but it’s also really funny because you have them so ramped up that they’re so caught up in it. They believe every bit of it and, I don’t know, it’s a crazy thing when you get them that pulled in that they lose it.
