Coming up next, we have an exclusive interview with WWE superstar Ilja Dragunov, who is currently in Europe for the upcoming Bash in Berlin premium live event. Ilja, who is known for his intense and physical style in the ring, has recently opened up about how his family does not approve of his wrestling style.
In our interview, Ilja shared that his family has never seen him wrestle, and that his 7-year-old son has never watched any of his matches. He explained that his style may be too much for his son to understand at this age, but he hopes that with time, his son will be able to appreciate and understand his passion for wrestling.
Despite his family's disapproval, Ilja stays true to his style and does not let their opinions affect him. He believes that overthinking things in the ring can create a self-fulfilling prophecy, so he focuses on giving his best performance without worrying about outside opinions.
Ilja also touched on the pressure he feels to live up to his reputation as one of WWE's most intense superstars. He shared that he believes there is a certain way his persona should carry himself in the ring, and he strives to hit those levels to justify his place in the business.
When asked about the fear he may experience in the ring, Ilja admitted that it is a common feeling for any performer in the wrestling world. However, his passion and bravery always outweigh his fear, and he is able to push through and give his all in every match.
Ilja has gained a reputation for his ability to take a lot of damage and keep going, and he recalled a particularly painful moment in a match against new AEW signing Ricochet. Despite getting injured, Ilja recovered and is now focused on the ongoing Road to Bash in Berlin tour.
He has already faced GUNTHER twice on this tour and is set to team up with Sami Zayn against the World Heavyweight Champion and his Imperium teammate Ludwig Kaiser on Friday night. Ilja expressed his excitement and gratitude for being able to compete in his home country and to see how far he has come in his career.
To Ilja, wrestling is not just about fame or being a celebrity, but it is a way for him to fully express himself and be a part of something he is proud of. We are thrilled to see Ilja in action at Bash in Berlin, airing live on Saturday 31st August on the WWE Network.
