Baron Corbin addresses WWE return reports
Tom Pestock (fka Baron Corbin in WWE) addressed reports on his potential WWE return.
In a reply on X calling out the rumors on his re-signing with WWE, he wrote:
“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.”
He was with WWE for 12 years before his exit in 2024. Pestock won the King of the Ring tournament in 2019, the Money in the Bank ladder match in 2017 and is a former United States Champion in the company.
Following his WWE departure, Pestock has been active on the independent circuit under the name Bishop Dyer. He competed prominently on GCW, Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling and CMLL. He also fought in World Series Wrestling’s (WSW) Rise Against Tour in Australia this month where he faced Karrion Kross in a No Holds Barred match and Nic Nemeth in a Street Fight bout.
He also wrestled a dark match in AEW before the January 21 edition of Dynamite in an eight-man tag team match.
