Believe it not, Dijak's finger was not broken at NXT Vengeance Day this past weekend.

The former T-BAR suffered what looked like a horror injury while facing Wes Lee at WWE's latest NXT live special. While Lee was celebrating his successful North American Championship defence in the opener, the camera caught Dijak's left middle finger, which had somehow become bent in ways fingers shouldn't be bent.

Dijak defiantly posted to social media afterwards:-

But no, that finger is not broken. As confirmed by NXT chief Shawn Michaels during the post-show media scrum:-

“I am here to announce … it’s gotta be a miracle. It’s not broken. We took him, he got an X-ray, they said it’s not broken. I guess what you do is you numb it and put it back in place and that’s what is happening now. Again, honestly a modern miracle because we all saw it and it was pretty gnarly looking. But apparently he’s going to be okay, which is obviously fantastic news for us and him.”

That doesn't stop the x-ray from looking nasty, though:-

There is currently no word on how long Dijak will be out of action. Here's hoping his finger is back on the straight and narrow before long.
