Former ROH wrestler Donovan Dijak made his NXT in-ring debut at Saturday’s live event in Largo, Florida. He lost to Aleister Black in the main event.
The 6-foot-7 Dijak began training at the WWE Performance Center earlier this month. WWE.com touted, “Combining heavy-hitting power with cat-like agility, Dijak’s explosive offense has won him admirers around the world. His ‘Feast Your Eyes’ knee-smash, meanwhile, has downed enough opponents to put Dijak on WWE’s radar with only four years’ experience.”
Dijak tweeted the following about his first NXT match:
Thank you @WWENXT #NXTLargo, tonight was special. #FeastYourEyes pic.twitter.com/WH37au0ZLd
