Dijak's honest thoughts on WWE releases

Shortly after his exit, Dijak spoke with Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful and opened up about various topics. He talked about wrestlers finding out about their release from media outlets in the past and called it a horrific business practice.

Check out an excerpt from his comment below:

"It’s one of the most horrific business practices I’ve ever witnessed. I haven’t been in a lot of businesses. I will be outspoken about this until it gets fixed. That’s not how it should be done. They need to figure out a way to contact everybody, all at once, and let everybody know all at once that this is happening. We should not be put through this thing where you see one name come out, ‘Oh, Mustafa Ali has been released,’ and we all go, ‘Okay, I know he asked.’ I texted him, ‘Hey man, I’m sorry.’ He texted me back, ‘Yup, I think there is more coming.’ Even though I’m at a decent spot at that time in NXT, they can fire anyone."

Many fans bashed Triple H for not re-signing Dijak and letting him go. The 37-year-old did incredibly well for himself during his final few months in WWE. His fans can't wait to see him sign with a major promotion in the near future.
