However, some of them also didn’t forget to give credit to the breathtaking performance Dijak gave on that day. Even after struggling with the injury in between, the wrestler continued wrestling and didn’t give up until the very last. That proved what a hell of a passionate and dedicated professional he is only if it’s still unknown to some.

If it comes to wrestling, ‘fake’ seems to be more like a synonym. Again, many people are there who don’t even consider the injuries to be true. But despite wrestling being a scripted sport, this includes plenty of brutal injuries because of the dangerous nature of this sport. Some fans think that Dijak’s injury is a perfect answer to those sticking to the aforementioned belief.

Diving deep into the current NXT superstar’s journey, it’s safe to say that Dijak (Previously known as Dominik Dijakovic) has been on fire since his return to the ring in NXT in October, last year. The unstoppable star clinched six consecutive wins. However, the most remarkable one was his big victory over Tony D’Angelo, which allowed him the much-desired shot at Lee’s championship. Dijak proved himself worthy of the admiration of millions he earned over the years of his great going.
