Arguably the most highly anticipated bout in NXT UK history is set to take place later this month, as WALTER will defend the NXT United Kingdom Championship against Ilja Dragunov on Thursday, Oct. 29.
Dragunov won this opportunity back in April after prevailing in a 20-man Battle Royal to become the No. 1 Contender. But NXT UK’s hiatus forced The Mad Russian to bide his time for months before finally getting his chance against The Ring General.
If Dragunov’s return to the ring last month — an impressive victory over Noam Dar — was any indication, he’s primed to seize the moment. But WALTER has vowed to not only give him the fight of his life, but to destroy the man he takes credit for helping create.
Will Dragunov be the man to finally topple The Ring General? Or will WALTER continue his reign of dominance?
