WWE fans continue to share feedback on a character change and now the popular superstar has responded to a witty fan response while preparing for an upcoming gimmick match.
The evolution of Joe Gacy's NXT character continues now that The Schism is no more. Gacy will face Dijak in a No DQ match at NXT Vengeance Day on Sunday, and the promo below gave a sneak peek at where the direction of the character is headed.
Gacy took to X and once again asked fans where he was.
"Where am I?" Gacy wrote.
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
There was a mixed bag of replies to the original question, but one fan wrote that the former Schism leader was stuck on The Island of Irrelevance. Gacy quickly fired back.
"Relevant enough apparently," Gacy wrote.
Gacy also tweeted at NXT General Manager Ava after his No DQ match with Dijak was granted for Vengeance Day, playing up the crazy man gimmick. The former Schism member recently took on the authority figure role from William Regal, and Gacy has not been invited for her post-Schism fun.
"Thanks @avawwe_ I’m excited for Sunday [smiling blushing face emoji] @WWENXT g2g, doctor keeps talking to me [face with rolling eyes emoji]," Gacy wrote.
Sunday's match will be the first-ever between Gacy and Dijak. Gacy's last TV match was a NXT Level up win over Javier Bernal on January 12. Dijak's last televised bout was a win over Trey Bearhill on the January 16 edition of NXT.
