Donovan Dijak Announces Exit From Major League Wrestling

Donovan Dijak took to social media on Monday morning to announce his departure from Major League Wrestling (MLW).

The 39-year-old former WWE Superstar revealed that he made his final appearances for MLW this past weekend. Dijak thanked Court Bauer for giving him an “exceptional platform” to showcase his abilities as both a singles and tag team wrestler. He reminisced about his time with Bishop Dyer (i.e., Baron Corbin) as part of The Skyscrapers and said he was grateful to have shared the ring with Killer Kross, Josh Bishop, Matt Riddle, and more.

Dijak added that he’ll continue to work with other indie promotions and is soon set to debut an “extraordinarily unique character.” He thanked fans for their continuous support over the years.

Here’s what he wrote:

On his time with Major League Wrestling

“After much thought and consideration, I have decided that this past weekend was my final appearance for MLW, and I will be entering Free Agency moving forward. I am incredibly grateful for my time in MLW over the past two years. I was given an exceptional platform to showcase my abilities as both a singles and tag team wrestler. I was able to capture gold as The Skyscrapers alongside my good friend and tag partner Baron Corbin.

“I was also able to have incredible matches against Killer Kross, Josh Bishop, Matt Riddle, Krule, Kevin Knight, The Good Brothers, Kenta, and many, many more. Thank you so much to Court Bauer for providing me with such an amazing place to call home.”

Dijak excited for the next phase of his career; teases new look

“I am so very excited for the next chapter of my career moving forward. I have been wrestling all over the world at an incredibly high level, and I just knew it was time to truly bet on myself. I’m so excited to keep working with incredible independent companies like Progress, Limitless, Juggalo Championship, PW Rebellion, Blood Sweat Tears, and so many other amazing indie companies.

“2027 is going to be an unbelievably exciting year for me. I am going to be debuting a brand new and extraordinarily unique character presentation very soon, and I’m so excited to share my vision with all of you. I know deep down in my heart that I am currently the best I have ever been in the ring, and I can’t wait to continue to showcase my passion and dedication for as many people as possible. Thank you all so much for your continued support. It truly means the world to me.”
