The Dragon Retains! Ilja Dragunov Defeats Baron Corbin, But a New Challenge Awaits

In a brutal battle at NXT Deadline, Ilja Dragunov proved his heart and resilience once again, defending his NXT Championship against former United States Champion Baron Corbin.

The match was a back-and-forth affair, with both competitors trading blows and utilizing their signature moves. Corbin initially took control, sending Dragunov outside the ring with a powerful shoulder tackle and slamming him onto the announce table. He followed up with a clothesline and a DDT, seemingly on the verge of victory.

But Dragunov, known as “The Mad Dragon” for a reason, refused to be counted out. He unleashed a flurry of offense, connecting with a thunderous senton and a high-risk Coast-to-Coast. The champion then unleashed his devastating H-Bomb three times in a row, followed by the earth-shattering Torpedo Moscow to seal the deal.

As Dragunov celebrated his hard-fought victory, a new challenger emerged. Trick Williams, a cunning and ambitious wrestler, appeared on the stage, staring down the champion with an unwavering gaze. This unexpected confrontation set the stage for a future title clash, leaving fans buzzing with anticipation.
