Dijak might be heading for the WWE North American Championship

In 2020, several NXT stars made their main roster debuts. However, they received new gimmicks and joined a stable called Retribution. Dominik Dijakovic, Shane Thorne, Dio Madden, and Mia Yim were replaced by T-Bar, Slapjack, Mace, and Reckoning respectively.

A year later, the group was officially broken up by WWE and every member went their separate ways. T-Bar remained on the main roster where he wrestled for Main Event.

Last week, T-Bar returned to WWE NXT after a match between Wes Lee and Carmelo Hayes for the North American Championship. He immediately made a statement by attacking the current champion and revealing his new name.

As per last week, it seems like Dijak wants to go for the North American Championship and might face Wes Lee for the title in the near future. It will be interesting to see if Dijak can make the same or greater impact than Dominik Dijakovic did in NXT.
