Ilja Dragunov Reportedly Nearing In-Ring Return

Last September, Ilja Dragunov suffered a torn ACL and has been out of action ever since. According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dragunov is cleared to return to the ring, and WWE is simply waiting for the right time to bring him back.

Meanwhile, Cory Hays of Bodyslam.net reports that the return is likely still a few weeks away. Dragunov’s name has come up behind-the-scenes in WWE as recently as last week.
