>>15083562>Really wonder what that move was about, was it seriously a money making move to have him at catering at RAW as opposed to the PC?The following is headcanon, but they'll soemtimes put guys in spots that they're not ready for, whether that's talent side or management side, to see if things will finally click.
Famously, Brock Lesnar, while talented, wasn't quite clicking in OVW. But the pressure of the main roster immediately made him step up his game. Maybe Dijak was main roster ready in several ways, was still rounding out in NXT in other areas, but wasn't seeing the growth they wanted, so they called him up to see if that'd change.
And maybe if he was still making NXT money, they would've held onto him longer, but he wasn't so they had to look at it in those terms.
