Bishop Dyer reflects on nixed spots from his 2020 Royal Rumble match with Roman Reigns.
At the 2020 Royal Rumble event, Dyer, then wrestling under the ring name King Corbin in WWE, would take on Roman Reigns in a Falls Count Anywhere match at the event. During the process of the bout, Corbin found himself thrown into a porta potty by Reigns.
While speaking to SP3 and Jeremy Lambert on Fightful Overbooked’s In The Weeds podcast, Bishop Dyer was asked if the porta potty used at the 2020 Royal Rumble was a shoot one.
“Yes, it was, but thank God it wasn’t filled with blue stuff. It originally was, but because they didn’t want it spilling all over the floor in the arena with people walking and having clean up, they took it out. The original plan was for me to climb out of it being covered in the blue water. It would have been hilarious, and Hunter was pitching to me, ‘I did pig slop matches.’ ‘Fair point,’ but the venue wouldn’t let them do it. They also wouldn’t let us, I wanted to bang on a trash can because they just went through the whole scandal, the Houston Astros, with banging on the trash can for signals. I wanted to do it in a match and they were like, ‘Absolutely not.’”
Both Dyer and Reigns would later enter the Rumble match later that night after Reigns defeated Corbin.
Elsewhere in the same interview, Dyer spoke about his infamous dog food segment with Roman Reigns and The Usos. You can read more about that here.
Bishop Dyer is now paired with Donovan Dijak, another former WWE star, in MLW. The Skyscrapers, as they are collectively known, are slated to take part in MLW Fightland. The event will be held on September 13 in Texas. Learn more about that event here.
