Bishop Dyer, formerly known as Baron Corbin and a former WWE United States Champion, was seen at World’s End 2024, fueling speculation about his potential debut in All Elite Wrestling (AEW). Two years later, Dyer officially appeared in AEW ahead of “AEW Dynamite,” turning those rumors into reality.
According to Self Made AO (@KXNGAO), Dyer took part in an unaired 8-man tag team match on the “Bonus” pre-show. He teamed up with Martin Stone, Hardin Horwitz from Better Together, and Oli Gold but lost to the team of Austin and Billy Gunn, Brady Booker, and Elijah Drago. Self Made AO’s post about the match has garnered nearly 100,000 views, with many fans expressing support for Dyer. Some argue that he would be a great fit for AEW or Ring of Honor (ROH), noting his backstage relationship with current AEW World Champion MJF as a potential reason for his AEW involvement.
As of now, Dyer has not been officially signed by AEW, and it remains unclear if his appearances will continue or if this was a one-time event. Before joining AEW, he was active on the independent circuit, including shows like GCW and MLW. Dyer currently holds the MLW World Tag Team Championship with Donovan Dijak, another former WWE star, and their reign has lasted an impressive 210 days. Notably, their title defenses have been exclusively against former WWE wrestlers, with teams like Matt Riddle and The Good Brothers failing to dethrone them.
Fan Take: This news is significant for AEW fans as Bishop Dyer’s transition from WWE to AEW brings fresh talent and familiar faces to the promotion, potentially boosting storylines and competition. His connections and independent scene success hint at exciting new dynamics that could elevate the wrestling landscape.
