EXCLUSIVE: Donovan Dijak made his Major League Wrestling (MLW) debut Thursday night at the promotion’s Summer of the Beasts show in New York City.
The countdown to doomsday clock MLW had been promoting expired and out came the former WWE star.
The 6-foot-7 giant, flanked by manager Saint Laurent, entered the ring and began to take out anyone who dared to challenge him. He then proceeded to mock the bodies left in the ring.
Still buzzing from making his debut hours before, Dijak told Fox News Digital in an exclusive interview he thought everything went great.

"I was first sort of introduced to the concept a couple of weeks ago," he said. "But, yeah, the execution was flawless. I was very happy with the presentation and everything that was kind of laid out for me beforehand."
Dijak said he was impressed with the presentation he saw of himself on the video screen behind him as he walked to the stage, down the ramp and into the ring. He said parts of the video that were included in his presentation were filmed shortly beforehand.
"I was totally blown away with that turnaround," he said. "The video looked amazing too for such a short turnaround. I thought that was incredibly impressive for it to be sort of TV ready within minutes. I was just super blown away. And then, of course, the execution of this match, with all the talent and then afterward, was just tremendous."
It’s only been a few months since Dijak and WWE went their separate ways. Dijak had a tremendous run at NXT and was selected to "Raw" during the WWE Draft.
