Last night was NXT Halloween Havoc, and from top to bottom – it was a show full of twists and turns. In the middle of the show, we’d see a video package of someone throwing a mask in a fire barrel – signalling a return to the NXT brand to re-build their image. This was the mask of T-Bar, formerly known as Dominik Dijakovic.
Shawn Michaels Confirms Return Of Dominik Dijakovic To NXT – The T-BAR Gimmick To Be Left In Past
There was little reason for NXT’s head of creative Shawn Michaels to deny this was about Dijakovic, as fans have been eager to see him return to the ring in recent months. During the post show media call, Michaels would confirm that Dijakovic is returning to the NXT brand very soon, and was happy that fans were able to recognize that the video package was for him. He’d go on to say that Dijakovic’s call up was poorly done, and the NXT team wanted him back on the roster since 2020.
For those who haven’t followed the career of Dijakovic following his NXT exit, he would be a part of the mess of a faction that was Retribution – which saw him take the name T-Bar. Arguably one of the best parts of the group, his tag team alongside MACE was the longest lasting part of the faction. MACE is now part of Maximum Male Models on Smackdown Live, while the bulk of the Retribution faction found themselves released – including Mia Yim, & Shane Haste.
T-Bar has been mainly wrestling on Main Event in 2022, which is viewed by many as a waste of his talents. Heavyweights who can move like cruiserweights remain sought after acts in professional wrestling, and that is exactly what type of skillset Dijakovic brings to the table. His matches with Keith Lee prior to and in WWE are already legendary, and with a proper push behind him – Dijakovic could even be the next challenger for NXT Champion Bron Breakker, or new NXT North American Champion Wes Lee.
