Gunther: Ilja dragunov would make a ‘better enemy than friend’ in the WWE main roster in todays Wrestling news
Dragunov is expected to be called up for the WWE Draft.
Gunther believes Ilja Dragunov is a better friend than an enemy on the WWE main team.
Dragunov is expected to be called up for either Raw or SmackDown on night two of the WWE Draft 2024 this Monday. Gunther, in an interview with Gorilla position on WWE’s UK tour last week, praised Dragunov for his ability to succeed in WWE.
Ilja is someone I think will do well in the future. I think he’s someone who is waiting to explode. He just wrestled in Raw. Let’s see what happens with the draft. I think that he is the one that I would single him out for now because he performs at a level that he is almost too advanced to be performing at right now.
Gunther told Gorilla Position he believes it would be best if Dragunov remained a rival in the WWE main roster, rather than joining him in Imperium. The two have had some great matches against each in NXT UK and on the independents.
Ilja is a much better enemy than friend. It’s a matter of fact. Ilja is like one of us, in that [Ludwig] Kaiser and I wrestled with each other many years ago. So, I want him to be in the same position as me. I think that he brings out the very best in me, and I bring out the very best in him. But I think that before that can happen he will have his own way of going, wherever he may end up. Further down the road, I think that it’s a given that this will have to happen several times.
Sami Zayn won the Intercontinental title at WrestleMania 40 in early this month. Gunther’s 666 day reign as champion was the longest ever in the history of IC title.
Dragunov has also recently lost championship silver. Dragunov lost the NXT Championship this past Tuesday to Trick Williams, in advance of his call-up.
Gunther & Ludwig Kaiser of Imperium are eligible for selection on the second night of the WWE Draft, which is this Monday.
On the most recent episode, Raw, Giovanni Vinci was kicked from Imperium. Gunther announced on the show that he will be competing in the King of the Ring Tournament this year.
