Dijak completely rejuvenated himself when he returned to NXT after his first disastrous run on the main roster. Many fans wanted to see him succeed on the main roster after he was called up to Raw back in April. However, he was released from WWE after his contract expired on June 28. Just a day, after he became a free agent, the self-proclaimed King of Ratio, dropped a hint about his future on social media.

The 37-year-old star took to X and shared a video announcing that Donovan Dijak was back. The interesting story behind this name is that when he was wrestling in the independent circuits, he wrestled under this. Dijak stated that now that he was a free agent, he would fight whenever and wherever he wanted. However, many fans caught the hint he dropped when he talked about opening a door to leave his house.
