Baron Corbin WWE Return Heavily Speculated
By Garth Holmberg on 17 May 2026
While nothing is absolutely certain (it IS wrestling gossip, after all), the word being spread from our usual sources has it on good authority that there is a strong possibility that we should look forward to the return of Baron Corbin. Corbin previously spent over 10-years with WWE, split between time in their developmental brand NXT and the main roster (called up in the spring of 2017).
Corbin had what I would best describe as a polarizing run, as he had the skill set to be a valuable piece, but at times was over-pushed and not used in ways that fit his strengths, including the infamous stretch on Monday Night Raw where the McMahon’s came out to address the poor quality of the programming and pointed the fingers at Mr. Corbin. Following his departure in 2024, Corbin has mostly worked MLW as Bishop Dyer, and recently competed in AEW when they taped in Orlando back in January.
