Recently released WWE star makes disturbing allegation about Vince McMahon
WWE began distancing itself from Vince McMahon earlier this year. The former Chairman and CEO was forced to resign from WWE's new parent company due to sexual misconduct allegations, which he has vehemently denied and vowed to fight. One superstar was just released from his contract and is now telling a disturbing story about his former boss.
Dijak was released from WWE this past week. The former RETRIBUTION member was barely used after being called up to the main roster in the WWE Draft. He has revealed that he made numerous pitches, but officials were never interested, and they never entered into contract negotiations. He is already a free agent and able to sign with whoever he wants, as there is no 90-day non-compete clause due to his contract running out.
The Tall Don previously made very telling remarks about his role as T-BAR, which were said while he was still under contract. Speaking to Pro Wrestling Bits, Dijak recalled when McMahon wanted Mia Yim to fake a seizure on WWE TV. Yim was portraying RETRIBUTION's Reckoning character at that point. Dijak was asked about pitches that were too bad for TV, even for the mysterious faction.
"The most memorable one was... whatever, I'll just say it. This is a Vince idea. Vince wanted Mia Yim to... to pretend that she was having a seizure. He wanted her to pretend she was having an epileptic seizure, and we were presented this by, I don't know, the writer or the producer, and it wasn't.. we didn't want to shoot the messenger, right? I don't remember who it was, you could see in their face that they were like, 'I'm sorry but Vince wants you to have a seizure,' and she's like... we're all like, 'What are you talking about? We can't do this!'" Dijak said. [From 15:28 to 16:24]
Dijak recalled talking to AEW's Pat Buck backstage at Forbidden Door about the angle. The former WWE producer was in the writer's room when McMahon pitched the seizure segment that night, and everyone there was a bit taken back. Dijak added that McMahon would make various pitches, and everyone would have wide eyes because you couldn't call him on it for fear of losing your job.
Dijak also noted how bad pitches for RETRIBUTION became a weekly occurrence. Mustafa Ali was the storyline leader and their leader in real life. Ali had a good relationship with McMahon and could often go into his office to try to rework various angles.
Dijak set to face popular indie star following WWE release
Dijak's WWE contract expired on June 28. The 11-year veteran is already confirmed for multiple bookings from around the world as a free agent.
The former T-BAR has been announced to face fan-favorite Michael Oku on Sunday, July 28, at the RevPro event in Coventry, England. This will be Dijak's eighth RevPro match, as he worked dates for the top UK promotion in 2016 and 2017.
Oku is the current Revolution Pro Undisputed British Heavyweight Champion, but it wasn't clear if Dijak will be challenging for the title. The 31-year-old also holds the Jericho Cruise Oceanic Championship, the Riot Cabaret World Championship, and the Purpose Wrestling Championship.
