Video Promo: Ilja Dragunov
We take a look at Ilja Dragunov. He says he never feared pain. Pain makes you feel alive. Agony is different. When I injured my ankle, it was more than the searing pain. The pain I felt surrendering my NXT UK Title was great. It was taken away not by an opponent but by circumstance. My biggest challenge was seeing NXT UK breathe its last breath. I saw the title unified knowing I should have been in that ring with Bron. Those opportunities only happen once in a lifetime. I cannot change the past, but I can change the future. Bron Breakker is a great champion, but he is a man. Bron will be stepping in the ring with a machine.

Cora asks if Roxanne is going to cry again. Roxanne says this isn’t a sob story. She reminds Cora that they wanted to enter WWE together and raise the bar in the women’s division TOGETHER. When you thought I passed you, you threw it all away. At Halloween Havoc, I put you aside and do it on my own. Cora says we will realize that Roxanne Perez is a lot of internet hype and no talent. Roxanne says that the true Cora is out, let’s say it like it is. You put on this nice girl act for a year but when no one was buying it, you blamed her and the fans. Your Generation of Jade is full of . . . Grayson stops Roxanne from saying a naughty word.
