Dijak To Leave WWE On June 28, Says The Company Never Tried To Negotiate A New Deal With Him

According to Dijak, he will be leaving WWE upon the expiration of his contract on June 28 after the company didn't try to negotiate a new deal with him.

Dijak issued the following statement on X:

"Here's the truth,

"WWE never negotiated with me. We attempted to negotiate and they stonewalled us. They never made me a single offer, then they informed me they would not renew my contract at the eleventh hour. 2 months ago I was in one of the best matches in NXT history, and a top match of Wrestlemania weekend. On that day, a top executive in WWE told me I was 'crushing it.' I was slated to feud for the NXT title but I got called up to RAW instead. I consistently outperformed everyone's expectations, especially throughout 2023 and early 2024. I never complained about anything or was difficult to work with. I tirelessly pitched ideas to anyone who would listen, as recently as the day before I was notified. I never once missed a booking, and I was injured 1 time in 7 years for 3 months. I'm thankful, disappointed, but also excited. This has lit a fire under me to relentlessly prove myself to the world. All I ever wanted was a fair shot and now I have the opportunity to go out and take it. That's enough talk, now it's time to Do or Dijak.

"My last day under a WWE contract is June 28, 2024."Bookings/Interviews: BookDijak@gmail.com

AEW's Tony Khan, TNA Wrestling, Tommy Dreamer, and New Japan Pro-Wrestling were tagged in the announcement.

It has been known for some time that Dijak's deal with WWE was expiring and the company had been late in opening contract negotiations with him. There would reportedly be interest in Dijak but as of early May, the belief within All Elite Wrestling was they expected him to re-sign with WWE.

Dijak signed with WWE back in 2017 following runs in Ring of Honor and on the indies as Donovan Dijak. The 37-year-old was utilised as Dominik Dijakovic, T-Bar, and Dijak across the main roster and NXT and he was recently called back to the main roster in the 2024 WWE Draft, although he had yet to reappear on Monday Night Raw.

There has been some speculation that Dijak's announcement is a storyline, especially as he is somewhat of a ratio god on X. Based on his announcement, though, it appears Dijak will be a free agent very soon.
