Donovan Dijak Addresses Baron Corbin’s Return To WWE

Donovan Dijak discusses his partner’s return to WWE.

The July 10th edition of Friday Night SmackDown featured the WWE return of Baron Corbin. Corbin, a.k.a. Bishop Dyer, interrupted a singles match between Carmelo Hayes and United States Champion Trick Williams.

Corbin had been competing in MLW and was reigning as one-half of the MLW World Tag Team Champions alongside Donovan Dijak. The duo was known as the Skyscrapers.

Following Corbin relinquishing his Tag Title and coming back to WWE, Dijak appeared on Off The Ropes to address his partner’s return.

“Well so, it’s interesting that you bring that up because I haven’t found out that he’s not going to be with MLW any longer. I mean, that is still completely up in the air. I don’t control the contracts of companies and who can appear when and why and what. Right now, the last we left it on episodic MLW FUSION television is that there’s a contract dispute and that’s where it’s been left. Obviously, he popped up as Baron Corbin on WWE but that’s not to say that can’t reappear on MLW television.” The show host suggested the idea of Danhausen cloning Corbin, and Dijak replied, “It’s possible. Anything’s possible, especially in that universe. They’re cloning people, they’re cursing people. There’s pyro and stuff going off. There’s all sorts of crazy stuff happening so, it’s the wild west out there. You never know who’s gonna pop up. Sometimes, Dolph Ziggler pops up on WWE television. You never know what’s gonna happen.”

Dijak is now holding the MLW World Tag Team Titles with Josh Bishop, who is taking Corbin’s spot. Dijak has been champion since June 2025.
