#2 Ilja Dragunov could rock NXT with a surprise appearance
Ilja Dragunov rocks. Let's be honest, he is a straight-up stud. We've seen Dragunov take on some of the stars of NXT UK, and even take Finn Balor to his limit at Worlds Collide 2020.
Nothing can break the spirit and when we put enough effort to think and feel the right thoughts, every attempt to hurt us is just getting ridiculous.#UNBESIEGBAR#wwe#nxtukpic.twitter.com/dp0NnCddQP
One of WWE's greatest workhorses, Cesaro, faced off against Dragunov as well back at NXT UK TakeOver: Cardiff in a show-stealing match. It was a match made in heaven between two guys known for brutalizing their opponents.

Prior to COVID-19 putting a hold on the NXT UK brand, Dragunov was in the middle of a feud with Imperium, specifically NXT UK Champion WALTER. With that feud on hold, and the brand waiting to restart, Dragunov has some time to kill.
It was rumored prior to his debut on that brand that he was destined for NXT anyway, so there were clearly plans to bring the giant-killer to the United States very soon regardless.

All my life was based on a simple thought. "What if just do what I want regardless what anyone is thinking, regardless how unrealistic it is and how much there is to endure." See life with the eyes what it could be instead of what it is at the current moment.#UNBESIEGBAR
Dragunov seems set to do whatever he wants "regardless of what anyone is thinking." Not sure what that means, exactly. Then again, when it comes to Dragunov, no one is certain. Still, if we're looking to promote the NXT UK brand ahead of its return, why not bring one of its top talents to NXT for a little while?
