Illja Dragunov Update

A 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 β€˜sooner rather than later.

Fightful Select’s 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 Dragunov’s return as of this writing, or if he will be returning in the immediate future.

Ilja got that super soldier serum 😭

Ilja 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.

THATS MY GOAT

Since most of the main eventers are occupied give me Dragunov vs Logan at Mania

Fahad

If anyone could pull off the Cena β€˜08 Rumble return it’s Ilja!

Sean aka Drex

Yessss !!!!

Gokul Garg

Great news!!

Couldn't have been a full tear, maybe just a partial... 4 months for a full acl tear is borderline impossible/reckless...

Rob Iapicca

No way he’s back that fast holy shit he’s beast if that’s the case

4 Months for an ACL tear? Dragunov is made of something else
