Killer Kross is already stirring interest in a possible clash with Ilja Dragunov following news that Dragunov is officially done with WWE. As fans began fantasy‑booking Dragunov’s next move, one suggestion caught Kross’ attention — and he didn’t hesitate to respond.
A post on X floated the idea that Dragunov should skip AEW entirely and instead sign with MLW, setting the stage for a showdown between the two. Kross reacted quickly and seemed more than open to the idea. He even hinted at bringing back his old shaved‑head look from his NXT days if the match were to happen.
“If this match happens anywhere, I might have to shave my head for this one,” Kross wrote. “#UltraViolenceMode.”
Dragunov’s WWE Departure Opens New Doors
Dragunov’s exit from WWE became public earlier this week after his contract expired. His profile has already been moved to the Alumni section, confirming that his seven‑year run with the company is over. With no non‑compete mentioned, Dragunov is free to appear anywhere at any time, making potential matchups like Kross vs. Dragunov immediately viable.
Kross’ reaction adds fuel to the speculation surrounding Dragunov’s next chapter. The two never crossed paths in WWE, but their intense in‑ring styles make the matchup an easy sell for fans who enjoy physical, high‑impact wrestling.
Whether Dragunov heads to MLW, explores other promotions, or takes time before choosing his next destination, Kross has made it clear he’s ready — and willing — to meet him there.
