Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, wrestling fans of all ages! Hold onto your spandex because we’ve got some juicy backstage gossip hotter than a steel cage in August. The wrestling world is spinning faster than Vince McMahon’s mustache after the news broke that Donovan Dijak is packing his bags and saying, “Bye, Felicia!” to WWE. That’s right, folks, Dijak’s gonna be a free agent come Friday, and the drama leading up to this is worth a pay-per-view event.
Our wrestling insider extraordinaire, Sean Ross Sapp, the Sherlock Holmes of suplexes, has spilled the beans on what went down. Picture this: Dijak, fresh from a clash with Xavier Woods on “WWE Speed,” gets a message that’s about as welcome as a chair shot to the face – WWE’s not re-signing him. Apparently, this bombshell was dropped two weeks ago, leaving Dijak more stunned than when Hulk Hogan found out the barber shop doesn’t accept IOUs.
Dijak, who signed with WWE back in 2017, must’ve felt like he was on a rollercoaster designed by a maniacal ringmaster. From dazzling in “WWE NXT” to getting caught in the chaos of the Retribution stable (which, let’s be honest, was about as well-received as a botched moonsault), to making his heroic return to “NXT” in November 2022. The drama didn’t stop there! In an exclusive chat with Sapp (coming to a podcast near you), Dijak revealed that none other than the Heartbreak Kid himself, Shawn Michaels, personally called him back to “NXT.”
But wait, there’s more! Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the ring, Dijak got drafted back to “WWE Raw” in April. But instead of being a main event star, he was more like a backstage extra. Other wrestlers were scratching their heads, wondering why Dijak wasn’t a regular fixture on “Raw” after the draft. Turns out, Dijak was starting to feel like an extra in his own career drama, sensing something was off when he wasn’t included in “Raw” plans.
Now, before you start shedding tears like a wrestling fan at the end of WrestleMania, don’t worry about Dijak. This guy’s got more offers than The Rock at a movie premiere. Sean Ross Sapp has confirmed that major companies are already sliding into Dijak’s DMs, and even some European promotions are throwing their hats into the ring.
So, keep your eyes peeled, wrestling fans, because Donovan Dijak is about to embark on a new chapter, and it’s gonna be one heck of a ride!
