Folks, we have a situation on our hands that’s bigger than the ratings of the Miss Universe pageant! Former Retribution maestro and now free-agent gladiator, Donovan Dijak, has exited WWE’s pearly gates, letting his contract waltz off into the sunset. But don’t shed a tear for Dijak! He’s already elbow-dropping his way through the independent wrestling scene like a heat-seeking missile. In a truly MAGA moment, Dijak christened himself the “new American Nightmare” on the Twitterverse, borrowing a page from Cody Rhodes’ playbook. Talk about making a splash, folks!
Now, let’s make one thing perfectly clear: Dijak and Cody Rhodes are bosom buddies. This wasn’t an act of gimmick infringement, but a little friendly ribbing. Think of it as a wrestling buddy cop comedy: Dijak and Cody, together again, but this time, it’s personal. They’ve tangoed in the squared circle multiple times back in 2017 when Dijak was still a fresh face in the indie scene, long before he donned his Retribution mask.
Since shedding his WWE skin, Dijak has been a whirlwind of activity. He’s already graced several indie promotions and, rumor has it, was seen lurking in the backstage shadows at AEW’s Forbidden Door. Could AEW be Dijak’s next battlefield? If whispers are to be believed, TNA’s Tommy Dreamer is also angling to snag this hot commodity for his creative conquests. The only thing for certain is that Dijak’s next move is anyone’s guess, but it’s going to be huge. Believe me, folks!
Meanwhile, our reigning and undisputed WWE champion, Cody Rhodes, is busy making history – again! Fresh off his latest battle at Madison Square Garden, where he was escorted out like a rock star, Rhodes is rumored to be prepping for a colossal showdown with Solo Sikoa at SummerSlam. The drama, the excitement – it’s like the fourth of July, but with more spandex.
So, as Dijak prepares to unleash more nightmares on the indie scene, wrestling fans everywhere should keep their eyes peeled. The American Nightmare might just be the new American dream, and believe me, folks, it’s going to be a tremendous ride.
