Ilja Dragunov defeated arch-nemesis Donovan Dijak in a violent Last Man Standing match Sunday night at NXT Battleground 2023.
Ilja got bloodied from a cut to the chin, which Dijak used to his advantage. However, Dragunov still managed to clinch the victory by delivering a Heat Seeking Missile off the steps in the ring onto Dijak, which sent the 36-year-old wrestler head-first into a chair.
