It's a shame that Djjak is leaving. He put on some of the best Matches in NXT this Year. Drafting him to RAW and not using him is a Crime. The Fans shouting "YOU DESERVE IT!'" is so bitter in hindsight.
Reminds me to what happened to Cameron grimes when he got released after he said an executive like his potential and has something for him then gets released from the company out of nowhere 🤦🏾♂️
Anyone shocked by the Dijak situation is clearly not familiar with how Endeavor runs things in UFC. Remember, UFC FIRED a reigning heavyweight champion and stripped him of the title because he wanted a raise.

How can Adam* call Matt riddle a liability and then say that WWE should bring Jeff Hardy and the Hardy boys back? That's a double standard to another level.
@@thefirst48gaming2so as long as someone likes you, even if the things you do put people's lives in danger consistently, that's okay? The most Matt riddle did was piss people off with some comments while Jeff Hardy has consistently gotten dangerously inebriated and driven a motor vehicle. Sometimes without a valid license. The only way people are going to accept Jeff has a problem apparently is when he actually kills someone like Sunny did.
@@MrMario-tc8slI've spent 23 years around addicts, from birth to now, and from personal experience, you can tell when someone is actually trying to make that change. It's why Jeff left WWE this past time around, he was actively trying not to relapse and nobody believed in him. People try to cite that house show where he hopped the barricade as "proof of him drinking/taking something before his match" and those people legitimately have NO fucking idea what they're talking about. If he was drunk or high, he'd have finished the match. Look at fuckin Victory Road 2011, bro couldn't even stand but he still went out there.
Right like all Riddle ever did was some Coke he was not drunk driving his car getting pulled over it was the coke that got him fired I think if Riddle can stay good and clean from that type of stuff and just stick with the weed he could be back in WWE killing it again I hope anyways
Sad to see Dijak go, but hopefully he'll get better opportunities elsewhere. Also, considering he no-showed an event like two weeks ago, I've no desire to see Riddle in WWE anytime soon.

NJPW would be awesome with Dijak. I doubt TNA will be his home because he seems really frustrated with WWE & it seems like TNA is turning into NXT’s NXT
They wasted Dijak. His matches against Keith Lee in NXT were awesome, some random match he had against Luke Harper which turned into one of my favorite, underrated matches. He’s a good talent.
It would be hilarious if Dijak has re-signed weeks ago and the plan was simply for him to go to SmackDown, rather than Raw, so they did the expiration angle as a way to hold off on the proper TV debut. But I kind of doubt it.
They completely dropped the ball with Dijak. Shoved in retribution, was stuck with that crappy T Bar name for ages, and then when he finally got a character that kicked butt, they called him up and forgot they had him. He should have been an immediate presence on Raw
For real, I was hoping to see him in the King of Ring or this upcoming MITB. He could’ve even run it back with Iljia or take on new foes in hard-hitting brawls like Sheamus and Gunther.
He had everything Vince wanted a guy to have. I don't know how they screwed up his first call up so bad with that Retribution crap. And after the second run in NXT, I felt there was a huge run once they called him up. Someone has to see he is an absolute star in the making and give him that shot.
Dijak is one of those stories that make you realise that regardless of just how well they've done recently, there's still problems behind the scene that need significant sorting out. To call the man up, and then essentially ghost him, is just weird and plain wrong. Even if it turns out to be a work, I stand by the comment.
Yes. I am still thinking why would HHH and HBK fire dijak? HHH said he would keep Chad gable forever. Dijak has it. Losing Dijak is a big lost for himself and the WWE.
Man I DONT believe this, I hope dijak comes back to WWE better than ever so that they would actually think he's worth it. Never in a million years would I have thought he would be gone from WWE, I imagined him being a household name staying in the company after the draft, but hey, never say never, high hopes he comes back.
Man, I loved Dijak’s original run on NXT when he had the whole one-upmanship thing going with Keith Lee. I felt he was going places. The whole Retribution thing was a tragic waste of his talent, but I have to be honest… I haven’t really connected with him since he’s returned to NXT. Something about his character has felt off. It’s like they were trying to make him edgier, and cooler, but actually he felt far more threatening in his first run.
If you need any Dijak match recommendations following him leaving WWE, thoroughly recommend him vs Wes Lee at Vengeance Day 2023 and of course the NA triple threat at Stand and Deliver this year. He'll do well post-WWE!
Why did they have Dijak get drafted up to the Raw roster on WWE’s twitter post only to leave him off tv with no plans for him🤦🏾♂️such a crime. He deserves better than this, I was a fan of his work and I thought that he would be a future WWE champion on the main roster. Reminds me what happened to Cameron grimes on sd when he said that an executive had plans for him and then gets released from the company😤
Dijak was a huge reason to watch NXT. A can’t miss must have talent. A huge miss by WWE to let Dijak walk. Dijak is a proven all-around wrestling machine.
Dijak should have been given a chance to be champion. He had a great feud with Keith Lee a while back. Could have given him more of a push. I hope he does well wherever he goes.
Poor T-Bar. I find it funny that internet nerds still consider any success on NXT as anything other than swimming really well in the kiddie pool. Trending on twitter also just means the nerds love are obsessed. He was a generic looking big guy and was boring.
I honestly think Randy sees a bit of his young idiot self in Riddle and wants to help him get past that and show his talent. That said there is only so far you go when people refuse to help themselves.
I liked riddle. I wanna see him do well, but he's gotta button up a bit in order to succeed if he comes back. His gimmick is fun, and he's more than capable in the ring. But yeah, wish the best for him, whatever that turns out to be
Going to TNA is just basically going to WWE Jr. Now with the NXT Crossover stuff that we know was just WWE finding ways to contract tamper without actually doing it lol.
I think he would’ve been a great as the insurance policy and straight man for A-Town Down Under. And then he could’ve conspired with Waller to replace Theory as the latter goes face.
If Randy is pushing for Riddle's return so is just a matter of time. Let's just hope Randy put some sense in Matt Riddle's head and help him get it together because he's good but prone to self destruction.
I dont blame Dijak for going tbh and hopefully he can go elsewhere and take his talent elsewhere (maybe not AEW since its very overcrowded). Maybe a tour of companies will do himself well
This sounds like a storyline like the one brooks jensen keeps saying his gone in a storyline. Because for wwe to never talk about your contract when your been there for years sounds very weird if it´s true.
AeW is like a black hole of former wwe and nxt guys, i think new japan and round on the indies and do a Cody hopefully - hes very strong and no doubt get bettee
@@23lacross Paul books and produces the shows, he's not involved with any negotiations with talent because that's the head of talent relations' job. I'm pretty sure he likes Dijak because he booked him in the nxt black and gold days but it was not his choice to release him nor responsibility.
@@23lacross You should know how booking works. The writers make the story for wrestlers, triple h books the matches on where they will be held, when it is happening, and who will win. Not a single writer in the production team had any ideas for dijak, THAT was the problem, triple h had nothing to do with his release.
This is a major L for WWE (Triple H) fumbled the ball. Dijak is a star he could have so many incredible matches with everyone. Letting Dijak go is a mistake.
@@82gamerprincess31 it’s going to be another nothing burger just like Cesaro leaving and never being more than champion for what is effectively AEW’s NXT. Nobody will care that he’s gone and he won’t suddenly become a mega star overnight.

Makes you question Randy

Dijak refused to take his stupid sunglasses off despite being inside. WWE wishes Dijak all the best in their future endeavors.

Thanks 🎉
Big Vito to NXT as the rival of Tony's family confirmed.
I’m disappointed honestly dijack is a good performer no matter who’s with him in the ring
If he could stay out of trouble for a while I can see Riddle return someday
Remember when he was Dominic Dijakovic.
Johnny Gargano once said "Dominic Dijagoofovic" 😂
"No cap"
Aw what a touching moment we have here
Dijak was a huge reason to watch NXT. A can’t miss must have talent. A huge miss by WWE to let Dijak walk. Dijak is a proven all-around wrestling machine.
A stream or podcast featuring Dijak, Mace and Mansoor would be very tasty
Edit: Called it, he was on their Twitch stream
Kinda a shame. He actually looks like a Wrestler and would have been a great foil for Guys like Seth, Cody, Roman and Gunther.
Damn. Always liked him and thought he'd re-sign...bummer dude...he'll kill it elsewhere
Poor Dijak, he has been defending WWE tirelessly online only for them to screw him at the end of his contract. tRipLe H iS cOokiN huh?

Yes WWE drops the ball at times & this is one of them 😞
I think its a work and hes headed to be the 6th man of the Wyatt group - being left aside, not used, etc it fits their criteria perfectly.
The 6th person is Wyatt
You do know Matt riddle is currently signed to Major League wrestling right.
Dijak is so talented and could've been a top guy in the company they will regret it
The contract people need to change they need someone like J R
Maybe Dijak can do what Drew McIntyre did. If Drew can overcome the 3 Man Band then he can overcome Retribution
Could you imagine if this is a massive work. It isn’t but my god the story I could tell.
Oh thats RKOs boi fr, he loves him lmao (he is like the only one but okay) Im ngl im gonna miss Dijak, he couldve been big in wwe
Going to TNA is just basically going to WWE Jr. Now with the NXT Crossover stuff that we know was just WWE finding ways to contract tamper without actually doing it lol.
Let just hope Riddle will come back to WWE.
Its a work! Dijak is going to be the last member of the Wyatt Sicks
dam sucks dijak didn’t get resigned especially when they drafted him to raw but i’m not gonna miss him personally
They should have put him in Final Testament, or Judgement Day. But I had a bad feeling when they did draft him, I dunno why. It's a surprise.
I think he would’ve been a great as the insurance policy and straight man for A-Town Down Under. And then he could’ve conspired with Waller to replace Theory as the latter goes face.
