Every great story displays a certain level of emotion.
Reigning NXT UK Champion Ilja Dragunov recently spoke with Lucha Libre Online about how he believes that NXT UK is the best brand in WWE due to the emotional stories that they tell.
“The first thing I thought was: ‘You need to get better’. As simple as that. This a very nice happy end to an emotional story, but this is not the end for me. I know the responsibility I have. I know I represent the greatest brand in my opinion (NXT UK). I got to think about what’s the next level. I have to be prepared. I want to create my own legacy.
“What WALTER did was outstanding. What a dominant reign! But my reign is going to be another legacy. A legacy with a symbol like I am; a completely non-comparable one. This is something I definitely need to prepare for, and this is the reason why I am already working in my mind the next steps for me”. “I think regarding my style in the ring, regarding the physicality, regarding how you make people believe, and connect to the performance, NXT UK is untouchable. Definitely, people should never sleep on NXT UK.”
Dragunov defeated now-former champion WALTER to capture the NXT UK Championship this past weekend at NXT TakeOver 36.
