Bishop Dyer stripped of MLW tag titles following contract dispute

"

The man known as Baron Corbin is a prized free agent. Even though he won’t show his hand, rumors point to signing with WWE. Corbin competes in MLW as Bishop Dyer, and they turned this drama into a storyline. When contract negotiations came to a standstill, MLW stripped Dyer of the tag team titles. That left Donovan Dijak in the lurch forced to choose a new partner by the end of the night on Fusion (July 4, 2026). Dijak revealed the third member of the Skyscrapers, and he is a bruiser. Rich Bocchini dished the scoop to update Dyer’s status. Dyer used the tag belt as leverage to request a salary bump and demands that would make a billionaire blush. MLW had enough and locked him out until he returned with a reasonable mindset. MLW then issued an ultimatum to Dijak. Find a new partner by the end of Fusion or else he will also be stripped of the MLW World Tag Team Championship. Rich Bocchini has an update regarding Bishop Dyer’s contract dispute with MLW, and it’s bad news for @DijakFYE!

This wasn’t a case of one partner doing the other one dirty. Dijak commented on social media. The Skyscrapers are fine and Bishop Dyer is fine. He deserves to be PAID. PAY HIM @MLW. HE IS WORTH TEN TIMES WHAT HE IS DEMANDING. HE IS A LEGEND. HE RETIRED KURT ANGLE DAMN IT. Dijak had other business on his plate. He was booked in the main event for singles action against Karl Anderson. Dijak flexed his strength by blocking a flying cutter to counter for a spinning Death Valley Driver. That maneuver couldn’t get the job done. Nor could a chokeslam. Dijak kept his focus and got the upper hand for his finisher GTS variation. Anderson blocked and countered for a roll-up to sneak out the win. Anderson didn’t have long to celebrate. Josh Bishop arrived to the ring to beat down Anderson. He joined Dijak for a double chokeslam, which was the finisher used by Dijak and Dyer together. Dijak confirmed that Bishop is the third member of the Skyscrapers and his new tag team championship partner. It seems @DijakFYE has found a new Skyscraper in @JoshuaBishop_!
