A rumored future WWE NXT UK signing has been removed from an upcoming Defiant Wrestling show, creating speculation over his future.
Ilja Dragunov was scheduled to take part in the February tapings for Defiant Wrestling’s ‘Loaded’ series, but the company has announced he is no longer set to appear, releasing the following statement:

“Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond our control. Ilja Dragunov is no longer able to compete on his scheduled Defiant dates in February. As a result we are removing a segment on this week’s Loaded (taped January 5). Meaning a slightly shorter episode will air this Sunday.”
Top independent talents often get pulled from independent shows prior to being signed by WWE and Dragunov has been linked with the company for several months after appearing at a recent WWE tryout in Germany, and this could be a big sign about his future.
