Former WWE star Donovan Dijak confirmed his departure from WWE after his contract expired on June 28, 2024, citing that WWE made no effort to negotiate an extension. Despite receiving high praise for his performances, including a standout match at 'NXT Stand & Deliver,' Dijak expressed disappointment over WWE's decision. He will now be using his original independent wrestling name, Donovan Dijak, as he opens himself up for bookings with other promotions, including AEW, TNA, and NJPW. Dijak emphasized his readiness to prove himself in the wrestling world, noting that his departure has lit a fire under him. Wrestling veterans like Tommy Dreamer and Booker T have expressed optimism about Dijak's future, predicting he will easily find work with major promotions.
