WWE News: Injured NXT star returns at live event (photos)
What's the story?
WWE NXT star Dominik Dijakovic made a quick impact on the Wednesday night brand when he made his television debut, but shortly into his run, he suffered an injury which sidelined him from in-ring action.
According to F4WOnline.com, Dijakovic made his return to the ring at the WWE NXT live event on Saturday night in Cocoa, FL and picked up a singles match win.
In case you didn't know...
Back in April of this year, Dijakovic suffered a torn meniscus and in early May underwent surgery to repair the injury. Before the injury, Dijakovic had been gaining momentum in NXT and was in contention for a shot at the NXT North American Title.
The heart of the matter
Dominik Dijakovic returned to the ring at Saturday night's NXT live event in Cocoa, FL and scored a singles match win over Cezar Bononi.

Team 3.0 is the team squashed by NXT newcomer Jordan Omogbehin, a 7'3" former college basketball player who made his in-ring debut earlier this week.
The NXT live event on Saturday night also featured Mia Yim and Karen Q vs Aliyah and Vanessa Borne vs Marina Shafir and Taynara Conti vs Rachael Evers and Deonna Purrazzo. The team of Yim and Karen Q won the Fatal Four Way tag team bout.
The event was headlined by Velveteen Dream successfully retaining his North American title against Roderick Strong.
What's next?
There is no word as to when Dominik Dijakovic will return to WWE NXT TV, and it remains to be seen if he will return to title contention if and when he does make his return.
