Bad news has struck fans of WWE’s “Mad Dragon.” During the September 30 episode of WWE Raw, the commentators dropped some unfortunate news regarding Ilja Dragunov. Footage aired from his recent bout with WWE World Heavyweight Champion GUNTHER in Columbus, Georgia, but the excitement quickly turned to concern.
According to WWE Raw commentators Joe Tessitore and Wade Barrett, Dragunov sustained a significant injury during the hard-hitting contest. The belief is that Dragunov suffered a torn ACL, an injury that could potentially sideline him for six to nine months. This is a tough blow for Dragunov, who has gained considerable momentum and captivated fans with his intense performances.
WWE and fans alike will be hoping for a speedy recovery, as Dragunov is one of the most dynamic talents on the roster. The injury halts his progress for now, but there’s no doubt “The Mad Dragon” will return hungrier than ever when the time comes.
