Former WWE wrestler Bishop Dyer, who was previously known as Baron Corbin, recently shared his thoughts on R-Truth’s exit from WWE. He views this event as indicative of a significant cultural shift within WWE under its new ownership by TKO Group Holdings.
On the Busted Open Radio show, Dyer contrasted the current WWE atmosphere with the era under Vince McMahon. He remarked, “No matter what you said about Vince, he cared deeply about his talent and the fans.” He highlighted the loyalty of legendary figures like The Undertaker, noting how Vince’s respect for such individuals was genuine and heartfelt. Dyer emphasized that R-Truth has always been a dedicated and faithful performer, fulfilling every expectation placed upon him.
Dyer believes this change sends a strong message to today’s WWE roster. “The harsh truth for the locker room is that the wrestlers are no longer the priority,” he commented. In his view, WWE is leaning more towards becoming like the NFL, focusing on the business side rather than the individual performers.

Fan Take: This development is crucial for WWE fans because it signals a possible shift in how talent is valued, potentially affecting the creative freedom and career longevity of wrestlers. If WWE increasingly prioritizes corporate interests over personal loyalty and character development, the sport’s emotional connection with its audience could suffer.
