After winning the WWE NXT UK Championship, Ilja Dragunov participated in a media call and was asked if he has any plans on going to Raw or SmackDown.
“I don’t think about it because I have the responsibility to carry NXT UK as a brand, which I think is a standout brand. This is my main priority now. I have big footsteps to step into and I will do it in the future. It is important to carry this brand on my shoulders and I will carry it with pride. I would love to carry this brand on my shoulders because I’m proud of this brand and proud of the hard-working people there. Just when I step into the locker room, I see the people, day by day getting better. The work mentality inspires me and makes me proud to be the champion of this brand and represent. I see so much talent on this brand that people will pay attention to as soon as they get a chance. One chance can change the world. I’m sure the people who sleep on NXT UK will not sleep on NXT UK in the future because the talent is rising.”
He also spoke on what he believes he has to offer to NXT UK.
“I have something to offer that no one else has. I’m a unique personality and I bring something unique into any matchup I go into. After his dominant reign, I will create a legacy for myself and I will create something that people will remember because they will remember any performance.”
