The WWE Draft has brought about several surprises, and one of the most notable ones is the transfer of Dijak from NXT to RAW. The news has sent ripples throughout the wrestling community, with many fans and Superstars alike sharing their reactions. Among them is former WWE Superstar Keith Lee, who has a storied history with Dijak.
Lee, now an AEW star, took to Twitter to express his joy for his arch-nemesis’ move to the main roster.
When a user mentioned that they missed their epic battles in NXT, Lee responded by saying he was thrilled to see Dijak’s fights, no matter where they may be.
“I am thrilled for his fights no matter where they may be. He’s a specimen,” Lee wrote.
Their rivalry dates back to Dijak’s first run on NXT, where the two put on some incredible matches. Their most significant encounter took place at NXT TakeOver: Portland, which left a lasting impression on fans. Despite being on different rosters now, it’s clear that Lee still holds a lot of respect for his former opponent.
Meanwhile, in a recent interview with Chris Van Vliet, Matt Riddle revealed some interesting information about Keith Lee’s past in WWE.
According to Riddle, Lee was supposed to win the United States Championship at one point, but due to an injury, he was replaced by John Morrison, and eventually, Riddle himself won the title.
It’s worth noting that Keith Lee is currently recovering from an unrevealed double surgery and hasn’t been seen on WWE television since December 2023.
Despite his absence from the ring, it’s clear that he still has a strong connection with the wrestling community and is invested in the careers of his peers.
As Dijak begins his new journey on RAW, fans can’t help but wonder if we’ll see a reunion between him and Keith Lee in the future. While nothing is certain, one thing is for sure – their past encounters have set the stage for what could be an exciting chapter in their ongoing rivalry.
