In an interview with Forbes, Donovan Dijak talked about his visit backstage during Forbidden Door, specifically seeing ROH World Champion Mark Briscoe and his family.
I got to see Mark (Briscoe) for the first time in—God—I guess seven years [at Forbidden Door]. So that was super exciting. He’s always wonderful to be around. I saw his kids were at the show, and the last time I saw them, they were literally babies. His wife had babies and now they’re walking around. I guess they’re older than my son. So yeah, it was fun to see him and catch up.
When asked if he had been invited to the event or if he reached out, Dijak confirmed that arrangements were made through his agents.
Nobody [invited me]. I showed up uninvited (laughs). No, Mojo [Rawley] and Steve [Kaye] both arranged that for me. They have great connections. Steve was there with me, so he brought me along, brought me in. I don’t know if anything needs to be approved by Tony specifically or if they just kind of have people going in and out. But I know that Tony has been made aware of my interest, and I know that there’s reciprocal respect if nothing else.
The visit comes after Dijak revealed on social media he was a free agent as of June 28, ending a run that lasted 7 years between NXT and the main roster.
