Bishop Dyer (Baron Corbin) Says WWE Stopped Bringing Measureables To Contract Negotiations After One Wrestler Did Some ‘Deep Digging’

Bishop Dyer speaks on contract negotiations.

The former Baron Corbin recently touched on the topic with Jonathan Coachman during an episode of Sirius XM’s Off The Ropes show.

Dyer was open about the experience that stars in WWE will face, revealing that the company has stopped bringing measurables to negotiations.

“They have no answer to why you are paid what you are paid. For a brief period, they brought measurables to the table, ‘Well, these are your social media numbers, these are your merch numbers, these are your interaction numbers.’ I know somebody on the roster who said, ‘Well, these don’t look right to me.’ They had someone do some serious digging and they countered everything that was being presented to them with facts and then they got a way better contract. That was the last time that they brought those things to the table.”

Dyer also opened up about how the company will take wrestlers off television to devalue their next contract.

“When you get closer to your contract ending, ‘Hey, I’m six months from my contract being up and I’m now I’m not on TV.’ It’s not a coincidence. It’s written that way. ‘Well, we don’t have much for you.’ So now, when they present you the contract, they go, ‘Well, you haven’t been on TV in two months.’ Yeah, but I was two and half years prior to this. So, they lowball you. Like, it’s a business. I get it, it is what it is. It’s the nature of the beast.”

Since leaving WWE in late 2024, Bishop Dyer has mainly competed for promotions like MLW and Maple Leaf Pro.
