It was first reported by Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com that Bishop Dyer could be making a return to WWE. Meltzer stated that Corbin “is probably back in WWE” and speculated that he could be revealed as the wrestler behind Danhausen’s latest “experiment” on SmackDown.
In an update on Corbin, Fightful Select noted the following…
“Baron Corbin has finished up obligations with some companies that he had been working with regularly, including MLW. He is believed to be either signed by WWE or will be imminently, according to those that were spoken to.”
Corbin responded to the report by writing on Twitter/X, “Sh*t I wish someone told me before I excepted these 8 shows in Europe a few days ago! Correction ‘accepted’ my eye is still a bit swollen from Australia!”
