The buzz surrounding Royal Rumble 2026 free agents continues to grow, as attention shifts to Baron Corbin, who was let go by WWE in November 2024 after a notable twelve-year tenure. Since his release, Corbin has taken on a fresh identity as Bishop Dyer, working across prominent wrestling promotions such as Major League Wrestling and Maple Leaf Pro.
Corbin’s transformation has been marked by success; he now teams with Donovan Dijak and together they hold the MLW World Tag Team Championships. This achievement outside of WWE spotlights Corbin’s adaptability and effectiveness in the ring, indicating he is not solely reliant on WWE to advance his wrestling career.
As speculation about high-profile returns heats up, fans and insiders discuss the potential for Corbin to rejoin WWE and reclaim his former persona. Should he return as Baron Corbin, there’s a strong chance he could become a leading figure on the WWE roster during and after Royal Rumble 2026, adding further excitement to the event.
The prospect of Corbin’s return, alongside other free agent developments, has fueled anticipation for the upcoming Royal Rumble. With other wrestlers making major announcements and career changes in 2026, the wrestling landscape remains dynamic, and longstanding veterans like Baron Corbin are central to the conversation about WWE’s future direction.
