Ilja Dragunov Defeats Baron Corbin at NXT Deadline – At NXT Deadline, Baron Corbin’s quest for the NXT Championship clashed head-on with Ilja Dragunov, intensifying their rivalry to a deeply personal level. Their highly anticipated showdown became the main event, featuring Corbin challenging for the prestigious gold.
The match kicked off with an intense exchange, showcasing the physicality of both competitors. Dragunov displayed his power by executing a suplex on Corbin, who retaliated by slamming Ilja onto the broadcast table, setting the tone for a grueling contest. Corbin strategically targeted Dragunov’s ribs, exploiting his vulnerability throughout the match.
