Ilja Dragunov has his next challenger.
NXT UK announced that Ilja Dragunov will defend the NXT UK Title on the January 27 episode of NXT UK against former NXT Cruiserweight Champion Jordan Devlin.
Dragunov won the NXT UK Championship at NXT TakeOver 36 when he ended WALTER's historic reign. He has since defended the title against A-Kid and Rampage Brown.
