Christopher James Dijak (born April 23, 1987) is an American professional wrestler currently signed to WWE, where he performs on the NXT brand under the mononymous ring name Dijak (stylized in all caps as DIJAK).
He was named the 2005 Sentinel & Enterprise Male Scholar Athlete of the Year, a Central Massachusetts Shriners All-Star selection, and was named a captain and selected as the team MVP during his senior season.
Ultimately, Dijak accepted a scholarship to play college football for the UMass Minutemen.
After redshirting his freshman season at UMass and struggling to adjust at the large campus, Dijak ultimately decided to transfer to Bridgewater State University, a mid-sized liberal arts college located approximately 20 miles outside Boston, Massachusetts.
At Bridgewater State, Dijak excelled at both football and basketball, leading the football team in both tackles and sacks in his junior and senior years, and led the basketball team in rebounding his senior year.
Dijak also earned all-league honors in both sports.
He was also named to the NCAA Division III Football East Region All-American team in his senior season playing for the Bears.

After earning another title shot in a fatal four-way match the next month, he went on to defeat Shurman in their rematch on October 24 and claim the CW Heavyweight Championship.
In 2014, he signed a contract with Ring of Honor (ROH), where he won the 2015 Top Prospect Tournament.

He made his debut in Ring of Honor on July 27 at Future of Honor 2, first defeating Stokely Hathaway and then falling in defeat to Moose.
On December 19 (aired January 13, 2016), he was banned from Truth Martini's stable, initially turning face in the process.
