Bishop Dyer may be back on WWE TV in the near future.
According to Fightful Select, the belief within pro wrestling is that Dyer - who wrestled for WWE as Baron Corbin - has either already signed with WWE or will be imminently. Dyer has reportedly finished up his obligations with some companies, including Major League Wrestling, where he is one-half of the MLW World Tag Team Champions with Donovan Dijak as The Skyscrapers.
Corbin has addressed the report, tweeting: "Had to correct my horrible grammar. I accepted 8 shows in Europe. My eye is still swollen from Australia. I also didn't know i was done with some of these companies. Who ever is making my schedule needs to let me know this sh*t. I thought it was me but apparently it’s not."
It emerged earlier this week that Bishop Dyer's return to WWE had been "heavily talked about" within the organisation, with it being speculated that Dyer could return to WWE TV as Danhausen's monster.
Bishop Dyer was previously a part of WWE from 2012 until his contract was allowed to expire in December 2024. Corbin is a one-time United States Champion and one-time NXT Tag Team Champion with Bron Breakker, and he is also a former Money in the Bank Ladder Match winner and King of the Ring.
Outside of MLW, Baron Corbin has been a regular for Maple Leaf Pro and on the independent wrestling scene. He also wrestled an AEW dark match in January 2026, teaming with Better Together and Martin Stone against Billy Gunn, Austin Gunn, Brady Booker and Elijah Drago.
