He then turned his attention to Williams and laid him out with an End of Days before lifting the US title, signaling his intentions. And now, it looks like he will be a part of the US championship title scene on the blue brand.

WWE’s Summer Tour live event is set to emanate on July 26 from the Dignity Health Arena, Theater and Convention Center in Bakersfield. The venue posted the match card for the event on Facebook, revealing Corbin’s first match since his return.

Baron Corbin will face Trick Williams, Carmelo Hayes, and Ricky Saints in a Fatal 4-Way match for the United States championship. This means the promotion is thrusting The Nomad right into a big program with the announcement of this blockbuster match.

Corbin’s return to the fold shakes up the mid-card title scene on SmackDown.

Elsewhere on the card, Cody Rhodes and CM Punk team up to take on Gunther and Sami Zayn, and The Vision defend the World Tag Team Championship against The Usos.

Donovan Dijak reacted to Baron Corbin’s WWE return

Baron Corbin was with WWE for 12 years before departing in 2024. Former WWE star Donovan Dijak also left the promotion in the same year.

The duo found common ground in Major League Wrestling (MLW) and formed The Skyscrapers tag team. They won the MLW tag team championship at Summer of the Beasts in June 2025.

Following Corbin’s return, Dijak reacted to a video by WWE on X, highlighting the moment. Dijak showed his enthusiasm and called his former tag team partner “Best in the World.”

Baron Corbin wrapped up his stint in MLW with a storyline where he was stripped of the title due to a kayfabe contract issue.
