Dominik Dijakovic had some great matches with Keith Lee prior to WarGames and it signalled a face turn for the Massachusetts native. While the likes of Lee, Matt Riddle and Tomasso Ciampa have gone on to be featured on NXT weekly, Dijakovic has fallen into the background.

It's clear that he's destined for a solid career on the main roster. But with so many more mouths to feed ahead of him, he might not be getting the chances he could be.

In addition to Lee, Riddle and Ciampa, he still has the Undisputed Era, Pete Dunne, Damian Priest, Kushida, Austin Theory, Cameron Grimes, Johnny Gargano and Finn Balor to contend with. Then there's also the injured Velveteen Dream, Bronson Reed and Killian Dain who are also featured on NXT. Dijakovic has to battle all of those stars for not only title opportunities but also for TV time.

Vince McMahon loves his athletic big men and while he isn't as heavy as Braun Strowman, Lars Sullivan or Lee, he's still an impressive big man. He can pull off moon-saults and other high-flying moves that men his size should not be able to pull off.

Instead of having him get lost in the shuffle, he should show up in the Royal Rumble. In that match, he could have an impressive showing with several eliminations and perhaps even a stare-down for a potential feud.

Someone like Sheamus or Erick Rowan would be a perfect foil for the former Ring of Honor star. With Lars Sullivan still likely to be out until summer, WWE could use a someone like Dijakovic as a new young monster.
