Speaking at the WrestleDream press conference, Tony Khan revealed when he knew Ilja would be ready for WrestleDream.
“Thanks to the process, it can be an unpredictable process of acquiring a visa. It’s something that I wasn’t sure until this Wednesday night, during a live broadcast, that I would be able to bring you. It’s a great surprise, and it’s something that I was so pleased that we were able to do tonight,” he said.
Ilja Dragunov departed WWE in August.
