It’s going to be a while before we see Ilja Dragunov back in
the ring as WWE announced last night on Raw that the Russian
star tore his ACL during a non-televised live event this past
weekend.

Dragunov was wrestling Gunther in Columbus, Georgia, in a
match for the World Heavyweight title when the injury took
place.

On Raw, commentator Joe Tessitore said that the former NXT
champion will be out for up to nine months as he needs to
undergo surgery.

Dragunov has been part of the main roster since the April WWE
Draft.
