Last Win: 5 February (NXT)

Dominik Dijakovic is an absolute specimen of a man capable of pulling off superhuman feats of athleticism no man of his size should even consider trying, let alone executing with such fluidity. He's an easy guy to push in that regard. Get him in the ring, take the shackles off, and people will pop. Guaranteed.

The problem with Dijakovic, ultimately, is Keith Lee. Lee is as impressive physically, if not more so, and has more charisma, plus he cuts a better promo. That Dijakovic's greatest highlights have come through his feud with 'The Limitless One' is undeniable (and those were fantastic matches), but that he isn't quite as good as the other flying big man on the roster means he suffers by comparison.

Dijakovic's televised record is just 2-5 in 2020. His NXT push was abandoned months ago and while jumping to Raw seemingly awaits, it's hard to see his fortunes improving beyond the usual post-call-up bump unless he is paired with a manager. Watch him slide after shining for the first few weeks.
