This week’s WWE RAW episode sparked curiosity among fans as two notable superstars, Dijak and Kiana James, were conspicuously absent from the show. The duo, who were recently drafted from NXT to RAW during the 2024 Draft, were expected to make their debuts on the red brand. However, according to new reports from Fightful Select, the reason behind their absence is due to creative reasons.
Sources close to the creative writing team revealed that they are actively pitching ideas for Dijak and James, which has led to a delay in their debuts. Although no official timeline has been set, it is expected that the two superstars will make their Monday night debuts in the coming weeks.
The situation surrounding Dijak’s future with WWE has been a topic of interest in recent weeks. His contract is set to expire in June, and as of last week, no new deal had been reached with the company. Despite this, NXT sources have expressed confidence that an agreement will be reached. The 37-year-old wrestler has garnered praise from within NXT, particularly from top executives like Triple H and Shawn Michaels, which has added to the speculation surrounding his WWE future.
Dijak’s social media activity has also been a subject of interest, with many believing that it may be a hint towards his impending debut on RAW. The 6-foot-8 wrestler has been rumored to return to the main roster for some time, and with AEW showing interest in signing him, it will be interesting to see how his WWE future unfolds.
In contrast, Kiana James, who was also drafted from NXT, seems to be waiting for the right creative direction before making her debut on RAW. The 2024 Draft saw several NXT stars, including Ilja Dragunov and Lyra Valkyria, make their debuts on the red brand, but James and Dijak’s absences have raised eyebrows.
As fans eagerly await the debuts of these talented superstars, one thing is certain – the creative team is working diligently to ensure that their introductions are nothing short of spectacular. With the road to the King and Queen of the Ring event heating up, the WWE universe can expect more exciting developments in the coming weeks.
