First, a little backstory. Corey Taylor is a noted WWE fan. Baron Corbin has been described as the most metal wrestler in WWE's new brand, NXT. In the days leading up to the Aftershock festival, the two had an exchange on Twitter…

You see, NXT would be performing at the Aftershock festival, doing a series of matches for the fans. Corey Taylor decided to attend the matches, and as Corbin came out, he decided to give Taylor a momento:
