Ilja Dragunov Now Free Agent, AEW Interest Hinted

Ilja Dragunov, a former Men's United States Champion, is now a free agent after his contract with WWE expired last week. This development has led to significant speculation within the professional wrestling community regarding his next career move.

During recent media appearances, AEW President Tony Khan was asked about the possibility of signing Dragunov. While Khan remained tight-lipped about specific contractual matters, his positive reaction, including a notable smile, suggests potential interest from AEW. He expressed admiration for Dragunov's abilities as a highly accomplished athlete.

Dragunov's free agency coincides with AEW's recent signings, including the Motor City Machine Guns. Further roster changes are anticipated, with reports indicating other WWE talents like Sheamus and Bayley are also nearing contract expirations. The landscape of professional wrestling continues to see significant talent movement between major promotions.
