The rematch between Ilja Dragunov and WWE NXT UK Champion WALTER has been announced.
Sid Scala, assistant to NXT UK General Manager Johnny Saint, announced during today’s NXT UK episode that Dragunov will challenge WALTER for the title in two weeks, on the July 22 show.
An in-ring press conference will be held next Thursday with both competitors.
This will be a rematch from the October 29, 2020 NXT UK main event, which saw WALTER retain in a bout that was praised by fans and wrestlers.
WWE recently began a storyline where Dragunov has dealt with anger issues due to the previous loss to WALTER. He recently picked up singles wins over Dave Mastiff and Noam Dar, and then defeated Joe Coffey and Rampage Brown in a Triple Threat on June 24 to move to the top of the list of potential contenders. WALTER attacked Dragunov in a post-match angle that night, and choked him until he passed out.
