Slipknot’s Corey Taylor is a big wrestling fan, and he’s been feuding online with the WWE’s Baron Corbin for a while. Recently, he decided to take manners into his own hands.
At the WWE NXT Aftershock festival in Sacramento, Calif. on Oct. 23, Taylor helped out Corbin’s opponent Samoa Joe by landing a nasty sucker punch.

First, the wrestler messed with the much smaller Slipknot singer, handing him a t-shirt and saying he’d sign it later:
