Thomas Pestock (born September 13, 1984) is an American professional wrestler and former professional football player. He is currently signed to WWE, where he performs on the SmackDown brand under the ring name Baron Corbin. He is a former one-time WWE United States Champion and one-time NXT Tag Team Champion.
A former offensive lineman for the Indianapolis Colts and Arizona Cardinals of the National Football League (NFL), Pestock also competed in the 2008 Golden Gloves tournament. He signed with WWE in 2012 and was assigned to their developmental brand NXT under the ring name Baron Corbin, portraying a villainous character nicknamed the "Lone Wolf". He debuted on the main roster at WrestleMania 32, winning the André the Giant Memorial Battle Royal. He went on to win the 2017 Money in the Bank men's ladder match and WWE United States Championship once. In 2018, he was appointed the Constable of Raw and started a feud with Kurt Angle which culminated at WrestleMania 35, with Corbin emerging victorious in Angle's retirement match. A few months later, he won the 2019 King of the Ring tournament, thus changing his name to King Corbin until 2021, when he lost his crown and became destitute. Two months later, he adopted the name Happy Corbin and began portraying a happy-go-lucky character who had become extremely wealthy. He then started a brief alliance with Madcap Moss. In 2022, he returned to the Baron Corbin name and was managed by JBL until 2023, after which he returned to NXT. During his brief return, he won the NXT Tag Team Championship and the 2024 Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic alongside Bron Breakker, before returning to the main roster in April of that year.
