As NXT star Ilja Dragunov prepares to transition to WWE RAW, wrestling icon Shawn Michaels took to social media to share his thoughts and offer a warning to the locker room.
Having already made an impact on RAW with a victory over Shinsuke Nakamura, Dragunov’s official move to the red brand was met with anticipation.
Michaels, in a Twitter/X post, presented Dragunov with a red cap symbolizing his new brand, describing him as intense, hard-hitting, and driven. He cautioned the RAW roster to be vigilant, labeling Dragunov as “a problem.”
Accompanying the tweet was a clip of Michaels acknowledging Dragunov’s arrival, emphasizing his formidable presence and potential impact.
In a separate development, wrestling veteran Dutch Mantell speculated on Michaels’ involvement beyond offering guidance to the incoming NXT stars.
Following a whispered exchange between Michaels and drafted superstar Kiana James, Mantell suggested that Michaels might be hinting at his own return to RAW, potentially to support James.
The WWE Draft also saw Carmelo Hayes joining the blue brand, while Blair Davenport, Lyra Valkyria, and Dijak were among those called up to the main roster, signaling a significant shift in the WWE terrain.
