WWE Main Roster Star Heading To NXT With A Name Change

Internal WWE reports have this ex-main roster man listed as something else.

T-BAR is now internally listed as "Donovan Dijak" on WWE roster sheets.

PWInsider reports that the ex-RETRIBUTION man won't be using his prior Dominik Dijakovic name when he returns to the third brand imminently. Why? That hasn't been confirmed, but there is a chance that WWE don't want a clash with Dominik Mysterio - that's all guesswork though.

For now, all that's really known about Donovan's NXT comeback is that Triple H wants to pull the trigger on it ASAP. Fans who kept a close eye on all those video packages during Halloween Havoc might've spotted a short vignette showing T-BAR's mask burning in some flames.

That blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment set the scene for his NXT return.

PWInsider notes that Trips remains high on Dijak and hopes he can make a splash on the third show for the rest of 2022 and into 2023. If he does, then Donovan might get another shot on top shows like Raw or SmackDown. Thankfully, that'd be without the dreadful T-BAR branding that nobody really wanted in the first place.

T-BAR is no more, and the same goes for Dominik Dijakovic. He's Donovan Dijak from now on.
