Ilja Dragunov

Prepare for the full fury of Ilja Dragunov! With a fierce determination and an unyielding intensity, this dangerous competitor has arrived on the NXT UK scene ready to unleash havoc upon his opponents.

There is no denying Dragunov’s unique charisma and aggressive nature. He is a force to be reckoned with, constantly on the attack and relentless in his pursuit of victory. The NXT UK Champion, WALTER, experienced the full force of Dragunov’s wrath in a grueling and brutal title match that pushed both competitors to their limits.

But it was at NXT TakeOver 36 where Dragunov finally conquered his demons and ended WALTER’s historic championship reign of 870 days. In an epic rematch, Dragunov overcame the odds and claimed the NXT UK Championship, solidifying his status as the top competitor in the division.

For 346 days, Dragunov reigned supreme as the NXT UK Champion, dominating the competition and showcasing his unrivaled tenacity. Unfortunately, his title reign was cut short due to injury, forcing him to relinquish the championship after a brutal match with Wolfgang.

However, Dragunov’s journey is far from over. After a stunning return on the September 20th edition of NXT, he set his sights on the NXT Champion, Bron Breakker. The fiery Russian competitor made his intentions clear and showed the world that he is ready to take on the best in the business.

At NXT Halloween Havoc 2022, Dragunov found himself in a thrilling triple threat match for the NXT Championship against Breakker and JD McDonagh. Though he gave it his all, Dragunov came up just short of capturing the title.

But rest assured, the story of Ilja Dragunov is far from over. With his relentless spirit and unmatched determination, he will continue to leave a lasting impact on the NXT Universe. The future is bright for this explosive force of nature, and there is no doubt that he will once again rise to the top of the NXT UK division and beyond.
