Baron Corbin Snaps Losing Streak On WWE European Tour: 'I'll Never Forget It!'
WWE's live event on April 29 was a night that Baron Corbin claimed he would never forget as he brought his 31-match losing streak to an end by winning his first encounter of 2023.
Corbin hasn't won a match since his November 14 clash against Drew McIntyre on "WWE Raw," but that all changed when he faced Rick Boogs in Paris, France as the former United States Champion secure the win via a roll-up.
His victory was met by a huge pop from the live crowd as Corbin reflected on via a tweet as he said, "Tonight was wild! Like I said I'll never forget it!"

Corbin had been working alongside WWE Hall Of Famer JBL at the start of the year with the "Wrestling God" being his manager, but that didn't create any success. JBL ended up terminating their partnership as he claimed, "You can't polish a turd." Since that point, Corbin has gone through a difficult situation, with his last televised match being the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal during WrestleMania weekend.
It remains to be seen whether or not this victory will translate to more success on television moving forward or if it was simply a fluke. However, with the positive crowd reaction that he received in France, and the WWE Draft shaking things up for the entire roster, there could be positive changes coming his way building toward summer. Corbin will learn his fate during the second night of the draft on "Raw," but this win could have bumped up his value to each brand.
