The future is bright for WWE superstar Ilja Dragunov especially following his epic first match, which was universally well-received, as part of the RAW roster following his callup from NXT in the King of the Ring Tournament.
This week on RAW, Dragunov was eliminated from the tournament after losing to Jey Uso, but despite the setback ‘The Mad Dragon’ is using the loss to fuel his fire.
“I mean, what should I say? It’s so frustrating..it is” he said during a RAW Exclusive interview with Cathy Kelley . “But, where is actually the shame to lose to the man, the Main Event, right? All I know, right now… I’m tired… I’m in pain…but the beauty of it is that in already very dangerous in this ring. But when I’m pain, I’m an entire monster.”
