WWE’s Bishop Dyer, better known to wrestling fans as Baron Corbin, has captured double gold at the prestigious 2025 Pan Jiu-Jitsu Championship. The professional wrestler turned jiu-jitsu competitor dominated the purple belt division, securing two gold medals and cementing his place as a serious competitor in the martial arts world.
“DOUBLE GOLD AT @ibjjf PANS!! Purple belt has been good to me!! Let’s go!!!”
Dyer shared enthusiastically on social media, posting alongside a photo showcasing his gold medals and a notably impressive black eye from the competition.
The journey to this championship success has been steadily building for Dyer, who has been diligently competing in the jiu-jitsu circuit while maintaining his WWE career. Just two weeks prior to his Pan Championship triumph, he tested the waters at purple belt level for the first time, submitting two opponents he described as “really tough guys.”
“Purple is definitely a level up, and these guys are dedicated to the craft,”
Dyer noted after his initial purple belt tournament. “True competition is the only way to measure your skill and see where you stand.”
His dedication to the sport has been evident through consistent tournament participation, including a gold medal win at the IBJJF Tampa Open in the absolute category earlier this year, where he redeemed himself after placing second in another division at the same competition.
Fellow WWE superstar Shane Helms was among those congratulating Dyer, commenting “Boom!!” on his championship post, while numerous other colleagues and fans praised his accomplishment.
This victory adds another impressive credential to Dyer’s diverse athletic background, which already includes a stint as an NFL player before his successful WWE career. The transition from the squared circle to the jiu-jitsu mat demonstrates his exceptional athletic adaptability and commitment to excellence across multiple disciplines.
“I’m going for greatness,”
Dyer has stated, echoing the determined mindset that has propelled him to success in yet another competitive arena. With these championship wins, it appears that Bishop Dyer’s pursuit of greatness is right on track, as he continues to excel both in professional wrestling and competitive jiu-jitsu.
