Bishop Dyer, formerly known as Baron Corbin, was upset over one part of NXT Homecoming, despite calling it an awesome show overall.
WWE NXT returned to Full Sail University this week for the first time in five years. The show celebrated the brand’s history by bringing back stars from different eras and acknowledging several names who played a part in NXT’s growth at Full Sail University.
A video package aired at WWE NXT Homecoming, highlighting the history of stars who came out of the Full Sail University era. Names like Finn Bálor, Sami Zayn, Alexa Bliss, Charlotte Flair, William Regal, and Bobby Roode were featured. Some stars also made appearances on the show.
Bishop Dyer, who was also part of that era, wasn’t happy about being left out of the video. On Off The Ropes with Jonathan Coachman, Dyer shared his frustration over not being recognized during WWE NXT Homecoming.
“That opening package they did for the show was super dope, and they had a lot of superstars from the past, the middle, and the present on it, and I didn’t make the cut. My t-shirt did. Somebody’s wearing a Baron Corbin t-shirt. But I was a little butthurt in that aspect. And I know it’s still fresh in WWE, you know, being as I finished up in January, and sometimes you’ve got to kind of give it a year or so before they start acknowledging your existence again.”
“But with that show, like, I was a main staple in the beginning of NXT. When they were counting the seconds to my matches, I was one of the originators who helped grow that brand. I was on every show. I was on the first live one in Brooklyn with 16,000 fans. So I was a little butthurt. Once I got over that, I thought the show was awesome.” [H/T: WrestlePurists]
