I'm not sure if most fans truly understand just how long Tye Dillinger has been clawing his way towards an eye-catching position on the NXT roster. Dillinger actually got his first break in the WWE in 2006, when he was assigned to the then developmental territory Ohio Valley Wrestling.
He eventually got a little work on the watered down ECW roster in 2008, but soon after took his talents back to the indie scene. In 2013, Tye found his way back into the good books of the WWE when he was signed to an NXT contract.

Since returning, Dillinger has been a workhorse for the yellow brand. He's taken any and all matches and angles thrown his way. This guy is ready to go now, he just needs that small window of opportunity. At 35 years old, he needs a break sooner, rather than later.

Jonathan Carpenter is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda. After obtaining a degree in political science from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, he started writing WWE articles in 2016. Jonathan believes integrity is vital in journalism and ensures his work is high on accuracy. He conducts in-depth research and verifies information from various sources before curating a feature.
Jonathan has engaged in many meaningful conversations with prominent pro wrestling personalities like Drew McIntyre and DDP. He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.
Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
