Before joining WWE, the man now known as T-BAR performed as Donovan Dijak (later changed to Dominik Dijakovic). His ‘Feast Your Eyes’ phrase became a big part of his gimmick, while it was also the name of his finisher. On one occasion, Rush said NXT coach Terry Taylor reprimanded the RETRIBUTION member for using the phrase at a live event.
Rush said he could not understand why WWE would sign wrestlers and discourage them from using the same gimmick that made them popular.

T-BAR’s current WWE role
After three years in NXT, Dominik Dijakovic was repackaged as T-BAR following his call-up to WWE’s main roster. He joined forces with Mustafa Ali, MACE, RECKONING, and SLAPACK as part of the RETRIBUTION faction.
T-BAR’s first WWE main-roster match saw him team with MACE and SLAPJACK in a losing effort against The Hurt Business in September. RETRIBUTION went on to lose another two matches against the same faction on RAW in October.
Since then, the four male members of RETRIBUTION (Ali, MACE, SLAPJACK, and T-BAR) have won their first match on RAW. The victory came one week before Survivor Series against Team RAW members Braun Strowman, Keith Lee, Riddle, and Sheamus.
T-BAR has not competed in a singles match since leaving NXT.
