Tom Pestock, formerly known as Baron Corbin in WWE and now known as Bishop Dyer, appeared on The Ariel Helwani Show to discuss his WWE release.
Back in January, Pestock appeared on an episode of Insight With Chris Van Vliet, where he shared his belief that a higher-up in WWE influenced his release from the company. He doubled down on that theory today.
“I was a little blindsided, but I also kind of expected it. I was in a weird place… Randy Orton was dead set that I would be a lifer in WWE. When that happened, he was completely shocked because I’ve been a guy that never made waves. I always did what was asked of me. I made everything that was given to me really, really good. I never complained about having to give someone else their flowers or put someone else over.”
Following his WWE release, Corbin has been working select independent dates.
