Before returning to WWE, Corbin was making waves in MLW as Bishop Dyer. He was part of a tag team called The Skyscrapers alongside former NXT Superstar Dijak (aka Donovan Dijak). The duo held the MLW World Tag Team Championship for over 260 days before The Lone Wolf was stripped of the gold.

After the latest episode of SmackDown went off-air, Baron Corbin assaulted Williams again. As a result, The Lemon Pepper Stepper challenged the veteran to a United States Championship match at SummerSlam. Last night, Triple H made the bout official for The Biggest Party of the Summer.

A few hours ago, MLW aired the latest episode of Fusion. Interestingly, Corbin was featured on the show in a segment alongside Dijak, Killer Kross, Matt Riddle, and Satoshi Kojima. The appearance caught many viewers off-guard because The Lone Wolf is currently signed to WWE.

You can view the angle featuring Corbin below.

Fans must note that the abovementioned episode of MLW Fusion was pre-taped. Corbin is unlikely to make more appearances for the promotion while under contract with the sports entertainment juggernaut.

Trick Williams’ reaction to being attacked by WWE veteran Baron Corbin

Trick Williams wrestled in a four-way match in the main event of this week’s SmackDown. Unfortunately for The Lemon Pepper Stepper, he lost to Finn Balor, who punched his ticket to an Undisputed WWE Championship number-one contender’s bout against Sami Zayn at SummerSlam.

The night didn’t end with just a loss for Williams. After the match, he was ambushed by Baron Corbin. In response, the United States Champion fired shots at The Lone Wolf, calling him a “b**ch.”

“Hey, look here you big bald-headed bum. Maybe where you from, it’s okay to sneak a man while he ain’t looking. Fight when he don’t know what’s about to happen. But where I’m from, you knuckle up, look a man face to face, and fight like a real man. So prove to me that you ain’t scared. Prove to me that you don’t belong in retirement. Prove to me that you ain’t a b**ch. And you fight me one-on-one at SummerSlam,” Williams said.

Trick Williams has significant momentum on his side after successfully defending his title against prominent stars like Sami Zayn and Ricky Saints in recent months. He will aim to take down Corbin and walk out of Minneapolis with gold around his waist next month.
