Dijak addresses previous shots he's taken at Kenny Omega and ones he's received back.
Back in 2019, the pair would have a brief online feud, with Kenny taking shots at NXT. Dijak would respond that he outwrestled Omega in PWG. This led to a memorable rant from Omega on BTE, but in a tweet earlier this year Dijak noted that there was no beef between the pair.
While speaking to Fightful's Sean Ross Sapp in an interview, Dijak noted that at no point was he against the idea of working with AEW.
"People have this funny idea in their head that I hate AEW and that I was this WWE shill, which is not the case. I was very protective of NXT when I was part of it, which ironically is most of AEW at this point. Black & Gold just shifted over brands to AEW. If people were talking shit about NXT, I would give it right back because I’m always going to feel that way about myself and the people I’m surrounded with and associated with. If you look at the AEW roster, I’ve wrestled probably 80% of them between Ring of Honor and NXT Black & Gold. That’s most of the roster. All these people are my friends. At no point was I against the idea (of AEW)."
When the conversation turned to Kenny Omega, Dijak once again maintained that there was no beef between the pair.
"I clarified this in a tweet. Kenny and I, as far as I know, we have no animosity towards one another. When that happen, he made the initial statement. I don’t know if it was a work or a shoot. It doesn’t bother me either way. I heard the interview or saw the transcription, and he was taking shots at a roster that I was part of. So, I took shots back because that’s what I’ll always do. I don’t care if Vince McMahon took a shot at me. I would tweet at Vince McMahon. If someone comes at me, I’m always going to defend myself and it will always be lighthearted. I have the utmost respect for Kenny and everyone else in AEW. I have never said otherwise. He’s one of the best wrestlers in the world and I respect him, Cody, and everyone who created AEW. I will never change my viewpoint. I will also never back down from an altercation."
As of June 28th, Dijak is now a free agent as his WWE contract expired.
Fightful Select recently had more details on his WWE exit.
