As noted before, WWE is currently interested about the potential of bringing back former WWE talent Baron Corbin, also known as Bishop Dyer in Major League Wrestling and the indies, to the company. Corbin is currently believed to be finishing up his commitments with MLW and the indies before he returns to WWE.

WrestleVotes Radio on Fightful Select reported that their sources within WWE described Corbin as being as a “locker room favorite” and would like to see him return to the company.

Those within WWE spoken to reportedly stated that they believe Corbin is heading back to the company and had finished up in MLW.

Corbin recently responded on Twitter about the rumors and reports of him returning to WWE soon.

“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.”
