Donovan Dijak is a free agent after finishing up with Major League Wrestling.
Dijak announced the move on X on November 9. He said his appearances this past weekend were his final dates for MLW and that he is entering free agency.
“After much thought and consideration, I have decided that this past weekend was my final appearances for MLW and I will be entering Free Agency moving forward,” Dijak wrote. “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.”
Dijak joined MLW in 2024, not long after WWE let his contract expire. He is a former MLW World Tag Team Champion, holding the titles for 317 days before losing them to The Good Brothers in May 2026. His final MLW match came at the Fusion tapings on November 8, a loss to Trevor Lee.
According to Fightful Select, MLW has confirmed the departure. The report also said Dijak had been working for the promotion without a contract, so he has technically been a free agent for some time.
Dijak said he will keep working on the independent scene, naming Progress, Limitless, Juggalo Championship, PW Rebellion and Blood Sweat Tears among the promotions he plans to work with. He is the current Progress Proteus Champion.
He is the third MLW talent to leave the promotion in recent months, and the exit comes as MLW goes through what Fightful Select described as a planned roster refresh. GCW owner Brett Lauderdale weighed in on X, saying there is “literally zero reason to sign” with MLW, pointing to the small number of tapings and the contract clause that keeps wrestlers from working GCW.
Dijak is 39 and a former WWE star. He has not said anything about talking to WWE or AEW, and no reports have linked him to either company since the announcement.
What is confirmed is the MLW exit and the free agency. What is not confirmed is where Dijak wrestles next, or when the new character presentation debuts.
