Having been on quite the impressive run in NXT across the past year or more, Dijak has received plentiful praise from those behind the scenes.

Per Fightful Select, the Asylum match between Dijak and Joe Gacy at last week's NXT Roadblock special drew a lot of praise from NXT officials. In particular, Dijak was singled out for his moonsault from the top of the Asylum cage.

Dijak has been with WWE since 2017, with him initially part of the NXT brand up until his involvement with the disastrous RETRIBUTION in 2020. In the immediate aftermath of that faction being disbanded, Dijak - as T-Bar - floated around in a tag team with Mace, before the former Ring of Honor favourite returned to NXT towards the end of 2022.

Since then, Dijak has been presented as a no-nonsense badass who's feuded with the likes of Wes Lee, Tony D'Angelo, Ilja Dragunov, and more recently having gone to war with the aforementioned Joe Gacy.
