Donovan Dijak made a shocking debut at MLW's Summer of the Beasts event on August 29, 2024, after a Doomsday clock countdown led to a chaotic four-way match. Accompanied by Mister Saint Laurent, Dijak interrupted the match, brutally attacking competitors Little Guido, Nolo Kitano, Jimmy Lloyd, and LSG, showcasing his dominance with powerful moves including a chokeslam and a GTS variation. Following his assault, Dijak proclaimed his intent to become the MLW World Champion and disrespected notable wrestlers such as Minoru Suzuki and Matt Riddle, asserting that they would all fall victim to him. His arrival marks a significant shift in the MLW landscape, as he signals a desire to wreak havoc within the promotion. Dijak's last stint was with WWE, where he failed to secure any titles, but he has since captured the Ryse Wrestling Grand Championship in the independent circuit. His debut has left a lasting impression, setting the stage for potential future rivalries within MLW.
