Alors que les lutteurs de NXT rêvent habituellement d’être transférés à RAW ou Smackdown dès que possible, ce n’est pas nécessairement le cas d’Ilja Dragunov.
En entrevue pour Busted Open Radio, Dragunov affirme apprécier son passage à NXT et n’est pas pressé de quitter cette division.
Il adore être surpris de ne pas savoir ce qui l’attend, se qualifiant d’artiste.
«That’s a good question, and I get these questions often in interviews and this is always about having a specific goal. I have no opinion on this. So on the other side, I would say if I would stay in NXT for a while, it’s nothing that makes me unhappy because I’m not in a rush. I’ve entirely enjoyed the journey. I’m entirely enjoying not always to know everything and just see everything in front of me, being surprised, being challenged. Like, the surprise of life in all this journey is the most precious thing to me. Because if I could know everything, it would just be like goal after goal after goal. That’s not what art is all about. This business is performance art. And I’m an artist 100 percent.»
