As noted before, Ilja Dragunov departed from WWE this past August following the expiration of his contract. Dragunov is currently believed to have recently signed an official contract with AEW. This past Wednesday’s three-hour AEW Dynamite and Collision show in Cleveland, Ohio featured a video airing teasing Dragunov’s upcoming arrival to AEW.
AEW released another video earlier today teasing again Dragunov’s upcoming arrival to the company and included the hashtag of “AEWWrestleDream.”
