36-year-old WWE star addresses the possibility of moving to RAW or SmackDown
The landscape of WWE changes drastically when the annual Draft takes place following the events of WrestleMania. Recently, Dijak addressed the possibility of moving to Monday Night RAW or Friday Night SmackDown during the upcoming event.
Dijak has become a staple of the developmental brand after the star received a reboot on the brand. The 36-year-old has been in high-profile feuds and title matches and has given himself a new nickname as he's often seen appearing at NXT premium live events under Shawn Michaels' creative leadership.
However, many believe that the star is ready to return to the main roster and he would possibly leave NXT during the upcoming annual WWE Draft. Speaking on WWE Deutschland, the star gave his honest thoughts on which brand he would like to join during the upcoming event and admitted he wasn't being choosy.
"I don't think I have the answer yet. I don't think I've come to a conclusion. I was on RAW for a long time. In my head, I always think that RAW, another hour, a lot more opportunity. So, that feels a little bit more comfortable cause I'm familiar with it. SmackDown, in the United States, feels like it gets more viewers, a slightly bigger platform, and major championships are on their side. I would be happy with either," he said. [From 47:30 to 48:05]
He added that he would be happy to be on either brand if he does leave NXT during the annual Draft.
Dijak had high praise for two WWE personalities
Triple H and Shawn Michaels have changed the landscape of WWE after they donned suits instead of wrestling boots after retiring from active in-ring competition. The two veterans have used their years of experience to create a winning product.
Earlier this year, Dijak sent a heartfelt message to The Game and The Heartbreak Kid after his breakout match with Joe Gacy on an episode of NXT. He revealed how the two gave him another chance after his return to the brand.
"People who tell me I shouldn’t do a moonsault off the top of a cage have never been T-Bar barely treading water on Main Event & [sic] tearfully staring at my phone waiting to be fired. I don’t take a second of this for granted, and I’m eternally grateful to @ShawnMichaels & @TripleH," he wrote.
It will be interesting to see what plans the Stamford-based promotion has for the star heading into the annual Draft and a new season.
