Update regarding Baron Corbin possibly returning to WWE

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, “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.”
