Illja Dragunov Update
Added 2025-01-20 20:18:07 +0000 UTCA WWE RAW roster member is seemingly getting closer to a return from a major injury.
In mid September of 2024, Ilja Dragunov suffered a torn ACL and has been out of action since. The injury came at a tough time for Dragunov as he looked to build momentum on the main roster. However, his return could be βsooner rather than later.
Fightful Selectβs Corey Brennan has learned that Ilja Dragunov has been spotted at the WWE Performance Center training for his in ring return. It was noted to Brennan that Dragunov was not at the PC for rehab, as he was taking part in traditional training ahead of his in ring return and was not wearing any support gear for his injury.
Upon announcement of his injury, it was projected that Dragunov would be on the shelf for six to nine months, having sat out the last four months of in ring action.
We have not heard of any immediate creative plans for Dragunovβs return as of this writing, or if he will be returning in the immediate future.

2025-01-20 20:46:19 +0000 UTCIlja needs to win the rumble, there's no better candidate to win and then face gunther. Allows Cena to compete in the chamber too. Am not sure the politics in WWE by the 'main eventers' will allow this however.

2025-01-20 20:23:53 +0000 UTCCouldn't have been a full tear, maybe just a partial... 4 months for a full acl tear is borderline impossible/reckless...
