Bishop Dyer discusses the origin of his new ring name.
Since making his debut in WWE in 2012, Dyer wrestled under the ring name Baron Corbin up until his time with the company came to an end with his contract expiring in November of 2024. Since leaving WWE, he has utilized the ring name Bishop Dyer, a ring name that has its origins with the immensely popular Game Of Thrones series.
While speaking to Wrestlingnews.co and SoCalVal in a new interview, Bishop Dyer explained the origins of his new ring name, including the influence of the dire wolves in Game Of Thrones.
“I’m on a new quest. It’s a new adventure. I’m going to go all over the world, and I want to build just a new thought process for people. I don’t want people to go, ‘Oh, he’s still trying to just be Baron Corbin.’ The Baron is kind of a bottom royal name, if you will, and the bishop is higher. So I was like, we’re elevating ourselves… Massive Game of Thrones fan, dire wolf. I just spelled it a little different than the actual dire wolf. So it still pays tribute to everything I’ve done in the path I’ve carved out. But it is a new evolution of it.”
