Bishop Dyer, formerly known as Baron Corbin, made his AEW debut in a dark matchand hes still riding the high from it.
Before AEW Dynamite went live from Orlando, Dyer teamed with Martin Stone (Danny Burch), Hadar Horvitz, and Ori Gold in a losing effort against Austin Gunn, Billy Gunn, Brady Booker, and Elijah Drago. But for Dyer, the experience was anything but forgettable.
Speaking on Off The Ropes with Jonathan Coachman, Dyer gave fans the full behind-the-scenes story, starting with how he ended up at the show in the first place.
Dyer said the match itself came together organicallyand all because Billy Gunn saw him and made the call.
The match was approved by Tony Khan, and Dyer went through the standard protocol before hitting the ring. And when he did? Instant reaction.
Dyers most emotional moment came during a face-off with Billy Gunn:
After the match, Dyer got a quick note of approval from AEW President Tony Khan:
Dyer currently wrestles for Major League Wrestling, where he holds the MLW World Tag Team Championships with Donovan Dijak. But he made it clearstepping into the AEW ring gave him a surge he hasnt felt in a long time.
Bishop Dyers AEW debut may have taken place off the live broadcast, but the moment clearly meant everything to himand possibly foreshadowed more to come.
