5 NXT UK stars who could be the fourth member of Team Ciampa

#1 Ilja Dragunov

Ilja Dragunov

Potentially a left-field pick, but still one that could be a master stroke.

Fans across the world got a taste of what Dragunov can produce at NXT UK Takeover: Cardiff in a masterpiece of a match against Cesaro.

Indeed, when UK wrestling supporters talk about their MVPs of 2019, 'The Unbesiegbar' is high up on many lists.

His highlights across the British Independents have included a barn-stormer in Glasgow for ICW against Joe Coffey and a technical classic for Progress with Jordan Devlin.

He is so highly rated by some, that it came as a surprise that he landed in NXT UK instead of going straight to the US Black and Gold brand.

Dragunov's combination of high energy and explosiveness would create an interesting dynamic inside the WarGames structure.

The Russian would certainly provide that X-Factor which Ciampa is after, in order to get the edge over Cole and The Undisputed Era.

It would be fair to say that Dragunov hasn't exactly been used to his full potential in NXT UK so far. A great way to legitimise him more to the WWE audience though would be for him to put on a great showing here on the biggest weekend in NXT history.
