Killer Kross is already showing interest in a potential showdown with Ilja Dragunov following news of Dragunov’s WWE departure.
Kross responded to a post on X suggesting that Dragunov bypass AEW and instead sign with MLW, where the two could eventually square off.
The former WWE star appeared receptive to the idea, even teasing a return to his memorable shaved-head look from his days in WWE NXT if the match comes together.
“If this match happens anywhere, I might have to shave my head for this one,” Kross wrote. “#UltraViolenceMode.”
As noted, Ilja Dragunov is leaving WWE following the expiration of his contract with the company.
If this match happens anywhere,
I might have to shave my head for this one.#UltraViolenceMode https://t.co/H8lcsUf7k8
