Predicting the next Big 4 from NXT

#2 Dominik Dijakovic

Feast your eyes on the future of NXT.

Feast your eyes on six foot seven inches and 270 pounds of raw talent. Dominik Dijakovic is a dangerous man. We have heard it before, "the perfect combination of size, strength, and speed", but the adage does not do Dijakovic justice.

We have seen men the size of Dijakovic do some surprisingly athletic things, but how many of them do you see utilizing springboard maneuvers? For those unfamiliar with the term springboard, it is when a wrestler leaps from the ground up onto the top or middle rope and performs a move, such as AJ Styles' Phenomenal Forearm.

Dijakovic can employ power moves and agile aerial moves such as moonsaults and tope con hilos. Dijakovic originally debuted under his real name of Chris Dijak, but after a cup of coffee, he disappeared from NXT television. Vignettes aired of a man by the name of Dominik Dijakovic, leading to the repackaging of this future star.

Dijakovic got a chance to shine at the World's Collide Tournament featuring talents from NXT, NXT UK, and 205 Live. NXT's Velveteen Dream won the tournament but everyone got much-needed exposure.

In the first round, Dijakovic defeated TJP, but lost to Tyler Bate in the semifinals. Dijakovic has looked very impressive when featured on TV and has a finishing move, an Argentine backbreaker into a GTS, that looks absolutely brutal. You could not pay me to take a bump from Dijakovic. Dijakovic will be a pillar of NXT when the next mass exodus of talent comes.
