Bishop Dyer is coming to MLW.
WWE opted not to renew Baron Corbin's contract at the end of 2024, and he has since returned to the ring. He competed under his real name, Tom Pestock, at The People vs. GCW. He has also competed under his new ring name, Bishop Dyer, for Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling.
Speaking on The Ariel Helwani Show, Bishop Dyer discussed his future following his departure from WWE.
"I have goals. I want to continue to wrestle, obviously. I want to go to Japan and wrestle. I’m excited for other shows that I’m doing with new talent that I’ve never been around. MLW is gonna be amazing. What they’re doing is amazing, and I get to be a part of that, and I’m going to do several shows with them," Dyer said.
Later in the interview, Dyer was asked about his comment about MLW, and he reiterated that he would be doing multiple shows with them. He expressed his excitement and stated that the company was doing amazing things.
“Oh, I’m so excited to be a part of MLW. They are doing some amazing things. They just want to grow and be a massive entity in this world. That’s the most exciting thing about wrestling right now, it’s so hot all over, at all levels. So when you’re getting MLW bringing in talent, they’ve got major stars. I’m going out there, and they are going to do some amazing things. Our venue that we were supposed to do next month, they already had to upgrade the honey because it sold out, so they’re moving to a bigger venue. So that speaks volumes on what they’re doing in terms of putting on a show and bringing stars in. For me, I’ve already committed to a few shows with them, so it’s not a one-stop shop. We’re going to do a few, and hopefully continue on. I mean, I would love to hold the MLW Championship," Dyer said.
Dyer also highlighted the MLW roster and expressed his interest in facing Minoru Suzuki, KENTA, and other stars.
