Whereas present NXT Ladies’s Champion Tiffany Stratton is raring to get her most important roster name up regardless of how profitable she’s been within the WWE developmental program, Ilja Dragunov, regardless of clearly being prepared for the soar, is in no hurry.
Right here’s what he advised Busted Open Radio in a latest interview when requested about it:
That’s a great query, and I get these questions typically in interviews and that is all the time about having a particular aim. I’ve no opinion on this. So on the opposite facet, I’d say if I’d keep in NXT for some time, it’s nothing that makes me sad as a result of I’m not in a rush. I’ve fully loved the journey. I’m fully having fun with not all the time to know every little thing and simply see every little thing in entrance of me, being shocked, being challenged. Like, the shock of life in all this journey is probably the most valuable factor to me. As a result of if I may know every little thing, it might simply be like aim after aim after aim. That’s not what artwork is all about. This enterprise is efficiency artwork. And I’m an artist one hundred pc.
Dragunov may as nicely be a farm for excellent matches, as he’s achieved nothing however tear the home down with just about each opponent whereas he’s been in NXT. This week, he’s scheduled to wrestle Wes Lee to find out the highest contender to Carmelo Hayes’ NXT championship. A win would earn Dragunov a rematch from “The Nice American Bash.”
Both approach, he appears simply high-quality doing no matter is requested of him and making absolutely the most of it.
