    I'm not sure I'd say Dijak is a good promo. He's decent. But he never really had a standout character if I'm being honest. Being good in the ring isn't enough in WWE. Hell, the most captivating parts of the show recently weren't in the ring and that's just true of wrestling in general. Character is King. Considering all the younger talent they have coming up, I'm not surprised they didn't want to keep him. Right now he'd be taking up the midcard spots for younger performers they see as pontential main eventers in a few years.

      His best gimmick was being Keith Lee’s best opponent. That’s shows you the issue. He never felt like he added any of himself to any gimmick. I don’t mean that is if I know him I mean it as he always came off as the exact character they gave him on a piece of paper

    Penta in WWE is exciting, but scary. I understand the sentiment that he's already gone as far as he'll likely be able to in AEW, so why not move on? I can respect that. But I'd have to think he'd have an even lower ceiling in WWE than what he's had in AEW. Like what would they even have him do? Stand quietly in the background for Rey Mysterio's backstage segments? Stand quietly in the background for Santos Escobar's backstage segments? Maybe if he's really lucky, stand quietly in the background for Damien Priest's backstage segments?

    What is this contract tampering? WWE (or anyone) doesn't have to follow other companies' contracts. People can talk to whoever they want. Only the guy who signed the contract is at fault. So, how is it tampering if it's his contract? Isn't it just contract breaking at that point?
    Contract tampering happens in pro sports because the teams are part of the same league that has rules against it, which all involved have agreed to.
