Spoiler Former champion returns to confront Bron Breakker at WWE NXT taping

By Liam Power Modified 15 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share The NXT Champion Bron Breakker Former WWE NXT UK star Ilja Dragunov recently returned to confront NXT Champion Bron Breakker during the latest NXT tapings. Dragunov is an NXT UK veteran, gaining notoriety for his hard-hitting style and ending Gunther's history-making title reign. After defeating The Ring General, the star held the NXT UK Championship for over 300 days. However, before the final set of NXT UK tapings, the Russian-born star was taken out with an injury. This development meant that he had to relinquish his championship, and a tournament was announced to crown the new champion, won by Tyler Bate. It now appears Dragunov has returned to WWE, this time on the US version of NXT, per a report by XeroNews. At the recent tapings from the WWE Performance Center, the Russian-born star surprised the WWE Universe by confronting NXT Champion Bron Breakker. rich schellhase@richschellhaseHOLY SHIT DRAUNOV IS HERE!!! #WWENXT87782HOLY SHIT DRAUNOV IS HERE!!! #WWENXT https://t.co/AVpWqeUuFR Breakker initially came to the ring to confront JD McDonagh, but Draguno interrupted, apparently drawing a substantial crowd reaction. The segment was allegedly followed by a match between Tyler Bate and McDonagh in which the latter prevailed.
