Below are a couple of top WWE news stories of the day, featuring Baron Corbin and Nikki Bella.

• Tom Pestock (fka Baron Corbin in WWE) is a free agent now and he recently had his first post-WWE match at The People vs. GCW event at the Hammerstein Ballroom, where he lost to former UFC Heavyweight Champion Josh Barnett in a Bloodsport match.

During an interview with Chris Van Vliet, Pestock revealed that his new ring name is ‘The Nomad’ Bishop Dyer. The former WWE United States Champion explained his new name:

“I want to go to New Japan. TNA has called, so maybe there is something there. Maybe NWA. I am open to it all, because I love wrestling, and if I can go somewhere and be in front of fans, I’m gonna go. I know that I don’t want to sign a contract right now because I like this ability.

So, I’m going with ‘The Nomad’ Bishop Dyer. I’m gonna be The Nomad. I’m gonna roam, man… it pays tribute to The Lone Wolf, dire wolf. And then a bishop is higher than a baron, so we’re going up. The rankings are going up.

I think it’s a powerful name, it’s a cool name, and I want to be The Nomad. I’m gonna float and see where the wrestling world takes me in that sense.

Bishop Dyer is the guy. I think [Baron Corbin is] dead. I think he’s dead, and there’s no looking back.”

• WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Bella attended the RAW on Netflix premiere in Los Angeles, walking the red carpet ahead of the event.

A two-time WWE Divas Champion, Bella was a prominent figure in WWE during the Divas Era and starred in reality shows like Total Divas and Total Bellas alongside her twin sister.

When asked about a potential WWE return, Nikki teased, “Will we ever see The Bella Twins back? Good question. I just may be here looking at my competition soon, so stay tuned.”

In an update, WrestleVotes reported that the possibility of Nikki coming out of retirement is very real and could happen soon:

“We’re told significant discussions have taken place regarding a Nikki Bella return to action, with the strong expectation from multiple WWE sources that it will happen sooner rather than later.”

Nikki finalized her divorce from Artem Chigvintsev in November. The split followed Chigvintsev’s August arrest for domestic violence, though charges were dropped in September due to insufficient evidence.

She last competed in 2022, during the Women’s Royal Rumble match. Her last singles match took place in 2018.
