Christopher James Dijak, born on April 23, 1987, is an American expert grappler right now upheld by WWE and performing on the NXT brand with the in-ring name Dijak. He started his pro wrestling vocation under the in-ring name Donovan Dijak in 2013. He worked on the free circuit for several years, most observably for Chaotic Wrestling. In 2017, Dijak signed with the WWE. He was allowed to perform on NXT with the in-ring name Dominik Dijakovic. He debuted as a person from the Revenge group under the name T-Bar in September 2020. He was drafted to SmackDown in 2021's draft, and in November 2022, he returned to the NXT brand as Dijak. He has won the CW Heavyweight Title, CW New Britain Title, CW Label Group Title, and the eleventh triple crown championship. Dijak also came out on top of the PWR Heavyweight and WrestleMerica Heavyweight titles. PWI (Pro Wrestling Illustrated) positioned him in the 104th spot among the best 500 grapplers of 2020.

A ‘Heel’ or A ‘Face’

Dijak made his ROH (Ring of Honor) debut in 2015. Dijak won the Top Possibility Competition that same year, overcoming Will Ferrara in the finals. This triumph permitted him to confront Jay Lethal for the ROH World TV Title. Nonetheless, he would not pursue this chance and on second thought joined Truth Martini's The House of Truth, securing himself as a ‘heel’. His first-ever match as an individual from the House of Truth occurred on March 7, teaming up with J Diesel and overtaking the group of Brutal Burgers (Bob Evans and Cheeseburger). In December 2016, Dijak was outlawed from Truth Martini's group, at first turning ‘face’ all the while. In February, Dijak emerged with Prince Nana and went after Truth Martini, turning ‘heel’ once more and making an uncommon twofold turn with Jay Deadly and became Prince Nana's most recent Crown Jewel. Dijakovic turned ‘face’ when he joined team Ciampa for the year-ending WarGames coordination with Tommaso Ciampa, Matt Riddle, and Keith Lee against The Undisputed Era (Brooklyn III, Adam Cole, Bobby Fish, Kyle O'Reilly) at TakeOver: WarGames on the November 13, 2019, episode of NXT. On the September 21 episode of RAW, he was uncovered as an individual from the villainous group "Retribution" under the authority of Mustafa Ali, with the ring name T-Bar, with another outfit and a face cover.
