WWE Star Is Getting Closer To Making In-Ring Return

An update regarding the injury status of Ilja Dragunov is out. Last year, he had suffered a torn ACL. A new report suggests he may be nearing a return to the ring.

The Ilja Dragunov Injury

Last September, it was announced that Dragunov had suffered a torn ACL during a live event. The injury came just as the former NXT Champion was starting to build momentum on the Raw brand, having recently competed for the Intercontinental Championship.

A Potential Early Return For Ilja Dragunov

However, a new report from Dave Scherer of PWInsider has provided a more optimistic timeline. In a recent Q&A, Scherer stated, “I have heard that he (Ilja Dragunov) is either close to 100 percent from his knee injury or is already cleared. Hopefully he will be back soon.”

He has been training in the ring for months at the Performance Center as he gets closer to returning. We wish him a speedy recovery.
