Xia Li starts MMA training

Over the past few years, many WWE wrestlers have embarked on a career parallel to that of professional wrestlers, with numerous WWE names entering MMA for more or less a long time, before or after their landing on the WWE ring.

In his last tweet on X, Corbin aimed for a new commitment to another reality that is not pro-wrestling, writing: “Come on! I think I’ll fight in this. I need more gold”.
