Former WWE star Baron Corbin, also known as Bishop Dyer, has proposed a new storyline for All Elite Wrestling centered around the Don Callis Family. Dyer recently shared his idea on Busted Open Radio, envisioning a large-scale “turf war” pay-per-view event.
A Biker Gang Takeover?
Dyer suggests expanding the Don Callis Family into a massive, intimidating force within AEW.
“Keep growing the Don Callis Family. Give me five more members.Here’s why. Let’s start a massive biker gang, like let’s get 20 dudes in this group; we have prospects, we have all this stuff, adn then we have this massive turf war,” Dyer explained. He envisions a sprawling faction with a clear hierarchy and a menacing presence.
Dyer continued, “I wanna see a four-hour pay-per-view where it’s all of the members of don Callis Family versus all of these people that Kenny Omega or Hangman [Adam] Page has recruited, Swerve [Strickland], and I wanna see a 20 on 20 stand off.” He believes a large-scale confrontation would generate meaningful excitement and draw a large audience.
What is Dyer’s proposal?-Dyer suggests a storyline mirroring the WWE vs. WCW “invasion” era, with the Don Callis family as a dominant force against a coalition of AEW stars.
Drawing parallels to the famed WWF vs. WCW invasion storyline,Dyer stated,”I wanna see five matches here with these guys,I wanna see a massive tag match with these guys. I would love a full-on invasion, WWF vs. WCW invasion-type angle with the Don Callis Family and everybody else.” he feels this approach could revitalize AEW programming and create compelling narratives.
AEW has recently bolstered the Don Callis Family’s ranks with the additions of Andrade El Idolo and Jake Doyle, bringing the faction’s total membership to 14. The group has also previously included prominent names like Will Ospreay, Powerhouse Hobbs, and Sammy Guevara.
