Dijak is grateful to be a pro wrestler.
The former RETRIBUTION member took to Twitter to hype up this evening’s NXT Battleground premium live event, where he will be clashing with Ilja Dragunov in a highly anticipated Last Man Standing match. However, Dijak also looks back on a monumental moment in his life that got him to where he is today.
Dijak shares a short story about the lowest point in his life, which was moments after he got fired from a job due to his dedication to being a wrestler.
10 years ago I sat in my car staring at this brick wall in Lowell. It was the lowest point in my life; I had just been fired from my job because of my dedication to becoming a wrestler. I literally didn’t know what to do. But tonight, I do. I will sacrifice everything for this.
In a recent interview, Dijak opened up about the struggles he faced on the WWE main roster, and how he eventually ended up back in NXT. You can read about that here.
