Dijak is officially done with MLW, and he’s wasting absolutely no time putting himself back on the market. After finishing up his final appearances with the promotion this past weekend, the former WWE star announced that he’s entering free agency.
Dijak broke the news on Twitter, explaining that the decision came after “much thought and consideration.” He thanked MLW for giving him a platform over the past two years and specifically mentioned his run alongside Baron Corbin as The Skyscrapers.
“After much thought and consideration, I have decided that this past weekend was my final appearances for MLW and I will be entering Free Agency moving forward. I am incredibly grateful for my time in MLW, over the past two years I was given an exceptional platform to showcase my abilities as both a singles and tag team wrestler.”
Dijak also looked back on capturing gold alongside Corbin and getting the chance to work with names including Killer Kross, Josh Bishop, Matt Riddle, Krule, Kevin Knight, The Good Brothers and KENTA. He also thanked MLW founder Court Bauer for giving him a place to call home.
“I was able to capture gold as The Skyscrapers alongside my good friend and tag partner Baron Corbin. I was also able to have incredible matches against Killer Kross, Josh Bishop, Matt Riddle, Krule, Kevin Knight, The Good Brothers, Kenta, and many, many more. Thank you so much to Court Bauer for providing me with such an amazing place to call home.”
As for why he’s leaving, Dijak made it clear that he believes now is the time to bet on himself. He plans to continue working the independent scene, specifically naming Progress, Limitless, Juggalo Championship, PW Rebellion and Blood Sweat Tears among the promotions he intends to work with.
“I am so very excited for the next chapter of my career moving forward. I have been wrestling all over the world at an incredibly high level, and I just knew it was time to truly bet on myself.”
There’s another change coming too. Dijak teased that he’ll debut a “brand new and extraordinarily unique character presentation” heading into 2027, saying he believes he’s currently wrestling at the highest level of his career.
“2027 is going to be an unbelievably exciting year for me. I am going to be debuting a brand new and extraordinarily unique character presentation very soon, and I’m so excited to share my vision with all of you. I know deep down in my heart that I am currently the best I have ever been in the ring.”
And just in case anybody wondered whether Dijak was serious about getting booked, he finished the announcement by dropping his booking email and declaring it was time to “Feast Your Eyes on the Dijak Hijack of Free Agency.” So Dijak’s MLW chapter is officially closed, but he clearly isn’t slowing down. With free agency underway and an entirely new presentation coming, his next landing spot is now wide open.
