First of all, as you can see, I've got some WWE belts here. No, I'm not going to get into a match. I already did that. That's why Matt's not here. I suplexed him in the parking lot. He's out of commission. I am beyond excited. My adolescent self is through the roof as I get to interview a WWE superstar right here on Good News York this morning.

He is a one-time NXT United Kingdom champion, a one-time NXT champion. and the current WWE United States champion after defeating Sammy Zane in his return match after a year-long absence. CBS Sports gave him match of the year in 2020, and ESPN ranked number 26 of the best, the 30 best pro wrestlers under 30 in 2023. He's going to be featured as one of the WWE superstars

at the WWE live holiday tour at the Upstate Medical Arena at OnCenter right here in Syracuse on January 1st, 2006. Give it up for EOLEEUE's Superstars. Ilya, Dragonoff. Ilya, how are you? I'm great. Thanks for asking. How are you? I'm great.

Very excited to talk to you. You know, as a WWE fan, on and off throughout my life, I have so much admiration for what you guys do and getting a chance to talk to you is really exciting. Your story is awesome. I want to start with how it all began. you were born in Moscow, Russia, but you migrated to Dresden, Germany at five with your mother. And neither of you knew any of the German language when you moved there.

Do you have memories of that time? And how did you guys adapt to that? I mean, like, thanks for in the first place to pointing out my story, because it's a story that is very, very emotional and deep to me. I connect a lot of hearts to this. So I remember a lot, like, especially like for a kid is probably easy because I picked up on the German language quick because kids, children are way easier to learn this. But especially talking about my mom, my mom is my hero for me. She is, she came to Germany. She was a teacher in Russia and was a university and everything.

And it heard the most because she. Her degrees that she made in Russia weren't accepted in Germany. So she basically had two choices. Either she's going to just take a job, whatever there is possible. But my mom actually went back to school, started to learn the German language. She went to university after this. Again, studying English as a language, but with German, instructions while still not fully speaking German and she got her degree for that one and

nowadays she's she's a teacher in adult adult education and just looking back at at her struggling with the language and the amazing path that she did the passion the willpower just the sheer veracity like you ask yourself why i perform the way i performed today it is definitely a dedication to my mom as well That's a beautiful answer, man. And, you know, I was actually going to say if people have seen you wrestle, you know, you wrestle with such passion and everything you do in WWEs is done with such passion and drive. And I feel like when you're brought up that way to really earn everything that comes your way, you know, and migrating to a new country and just having to basically start from scratch, it just builds your character. and you can see that in your performance. I know you also help provide for the family.

You worked a couple different jobs. I know you worked at a gas station, pizza place. So at what point does professional wrestling kind of come across your radar? And how did that happen? And when did you know, like, hey, that's what I want to do? I think pretty much from the beginning. I mean, yeah, you mentioned the jobs, but honestly, this is like don't even worth math.

because for me it's like the bare minimum. Like I think to know how the real life works and how to work a job as a part of being an adult. And I tried to learn this pretty fast. A little bit also overdue it because it didn't work pretty well with having school and the same things at the same time. Sometimes, but this is a different topic. But with professional wrestling, it started by accident, literally. Because I remember the first time it was literally some connection with a friend. They had a... I don't remember.

had a i don't remember the the city anymore either it's fraytale or he don't know there was a small gymnasium where they just played wrestling on a mat so this was basically the start of it and i kind of liked it so and i was searching for something that catches my interest anyway but uh when this this was the thing was going on a little bit but through this thing we actually met a german professional wrestler that uh later a few years later she said opened up the first rec school in Dresden, in Germany, where the town that I grew up in Germany. And I was, yeah, definitely willing to give it a try. And I realized after taking horrible bumps on very thin mats because we didn't have a ring at the beginning,

that and having my first performances that this is my thing. And this is my thing because all the expressive energy that I carry in my, myself that you can see in my matches with the faces that I make and the screams that I do and the physicality and everything, it covers all these nuances that I wanted to express. And because it gives me the platform to express my true me and maximize it, I couldn't stop when I started. Yeah. And, you know, I love that about you, that, you know, you've gone on record saying that, you know,

the character of Ilya Dragonov really is just... you maximize times 11. And you can see that in your performance. And I bet, you know, I bet taking bumps in the gym, you know, in Germany and going to the ring, I'm assuming that was, that felt like nothing compared to what you were used to taking. So when I watch you wrestle, as we talked about you, like, you're so unique in that you're very aggressive on your attack. But more importantly, what I noticed, and it's kind of an understanding.

I feel like with professional wrestlers is you sell it better than than most wrestlers I've seen in recent years. And that is a, that's a huge compliment. You know, that was one of the best things about Rick Flair, right? Rick Flair made the other guy just look incredible because he could sell it. And I see that in you. So I have two questions. One is, was Rick Flair one of your main influences? And if not, who was?

Well, first of all, thank you for putting me in the same sentence with an all-time great legend like Rick Flair. So thanks for that. I don't even know what to say. But coming back to your question, Rick Flair, definitely, like if you're a student of the game, you definitely watch the incredible work and the incredible masterpieces that Rick Flair put on the stage, put into the ring. definitely one of my big inspirations. I mean, I have a lot of inspirations. There was recently a question about my dream Survivor Series team. And there were other guys in there wonderful performers talking about William Regal talking about Terry Funk, talking about Roddy Piper.

Yes. Those, I mean, if there is something that you know about these fighters, it is passion. And this is something that always clicked with me. Physicality is something that people will always believe, always, if they, and those, these performers were like just unapologetically themselves, especially like if you talk about Roddy Piper. And this is something that I take for myself, because I think about persona something is something that is very specific. people either really love what I do or they think it's the cringiest thing ever and they laugh about it. But that is exactly what I appreciate about both sides because that's what I want to have. Because if they wouldn't care about me at all, that would be horrible.

That's right. But if I'm polarizing people, I don't want to be everyone's darling. As much as I don't want to be everyone's friend in this life. But if I'm polarizing people that's... I believe is the formula. And at the end of the day, hey, I don't lie. I am myself. There's everything I can do.

I think that's why you are so lovable as a person and as your character, because you can tell, you know, what you see is what you get. You know, you're very real. And I know, I think personally, I think that's a great place to live where people either they love you or they hate you. And WWE, that's the magic sauce. Now, like I said, you're so aggressive. It's so awesome to watch your matches.

Has the WWE brass ever had to come to you and be like, hey, can you back it off a little bit? Would you even be able to back it off if they told you to? Okay. These are a couple of questions. First of all, I think you know it as well. I just came back from a long injury. At this point, I apologize to the entire medical department of WWE, because it was not easy to be around me because I always wanted too much and too fast and

I apologize at that point of time no like I don't think that ever somebody came to me I think this is like one of my assets that is very unique to me I mean like my friends other by my true friends on a regular base come up to me and say like tone it down relax a little bit more but then again it is the real me this I couldn't do it if I can't do it my way and this is something I think that is a part of me. I mean, like some things that I take are physically, definitely more demanding. But I'm also kind of like, I recover pretty fast. Yes.

It hurts, but I recover very fast. So it's, I can pull it off. But, I mean, yeah. Well, I mean, look, you, another amazing part of your story are the injuries. I mean, you, so you got drafted to Raw in 2024. and you tore your ACL, which is widely known. You come back in October 25. You defeat Sammy Zane.

You get the U.S. championship. But you've also had injuries in the past. So, you know, when you were trying out for the brand in 2013, I think you got a hurt in NXT in 2022. Is there ever a worry as a performer and an athlete that, oh, my God, I, you know, I got injured. What if they f-is, is there ever a worry they're going to phase you out? You know, it's kind of like the best ability is availability.

Is there always that worry? Or do they kind of make promises that say, hey, listen, when you recover and you come back, this is what we're going to do. Here's where the storyline is going. Well, no, there are never promises in life. Especially there are no promises in life and there are no promises, especially in their business. Everything can change at any point of time. But I don't know if that sounds arrogant or not.

No. Or not. But like, the least thing that I'm worried about in my life is my job. Nice. Because I don't know, I do it for such a long time and I developed this. Of course, there's sometimes like little worries, but like in the big picture, I'm never worried about my job because I, coming back on all the backstory, being an immigrant, knowing how real life works, knowing how long I do this and how much it took me and seeing it all my career so far, I pretty fast changed from the mentality of what if to even if.

Love that. That is, you know, I've heard a lot of different inspirational quotes. I've never heard that one, man. That is, I can tell you live by that too. I mean, I try to do it. Like at the end of the day, I'm also just human and have my own worries and my own problems. But when it comes down to fighting, what for me is just what I do, it's just fighting. It's, you know, it's fighting is hard.

Life is two. I'm going to make it work. What a great attitude. Again, I think it goes back to your upbringing. And, you know, the adversity you faced at a young age that you're able to handle, you know, any adversity that comes your way now in your career. Sure. Sure. But I wouldn't say I'm nothing special in those regards.

I'm just a very good example. I love that. I love that. It's just a part of it, you know. So you have two special moves. the Constantine special, the torpedo, and every W.E. Superstar has, you know, a special move and an entrance song. Now, speaking for yourself, when you got into the W.E., is this a very long, thought-out decision? Because in the W.W.E. world, your entrance and your special moves, those are a big deal.

Or is it kind of a quick decision like, you know what, I'm going to go with this song and these are my moves? First of all, with the signature moves, you forgot the H-pump, which is pretty pretty pretty good one. I did. But no worries about it. I got a few moves. And, okay, talking about the music, I kind of thought, like, I always was very lucky with the music. Like, I always liked the vibe of the music they gave me most of the times, and if I didn't like it, I said something about it. But the part with the moves is always

It's like a more special thing for me because Like every move has a story And every move is like a homage Attributes to something I love that Like I mean like when you talk about the H-bomb It's I mean people that know

MMA and UFC Have probably seen Henderson versus Bisping And see that kind of knockout And I've seen it too And I thought okay I can make it my own. And when it comes to the Constantine Special, also it's the most physical expression.

Like I don't know what is more brutal than that. When it comes down to the Constantine Special, I literally came up with the idea for it and the name for it when I played for it with my son. It's a gentle cruising. You start to see the village, almost like a painting. Join me, travel expert Darley Newman and Uneworld Boutique River Cruises L'ouique Bali

So I thought, okay, because he's so, like, My son is even, he's so creative and so out of the box, like with the things he wants to play sometimes and try are so like, I wouldn't even think about it.

And then he, and because of his thought process, he inspired me to think in a different way. And I thought, okay, I came up with this idea and you gave me that idea. So this move is going to be you. Oh, man, don't get me crying during this interview because I, my son and I, you know, I was a WW East fan growing up and he's the one that got me back into it. and we have ladder matches in our house, and he brings it out in me, and hearing that your son brought your special move out of you is,

it's just incredible, man. I love that. I want to ask you a few more questions. I want to be respectful of your time. The creative process. Now, I know you can only peel back the curtain so far, but this is something as a writer, performer myself, I've always wondered.

Are you and other, and the other superstars, are you sitting in a room full of, like a writer's room regularly, or is it more of a nonchalant? They come up to you in the locker room. They say, hey, listen, this is what's going to happen tonight. You're going to face this and, you know, this is how it's going to end. So, like, how, I guess what I'm asking is, like, how far out do you know about your story arc and your character arc?

Well, I would say they're there. I like to differentiate things in life. So I'm pretty sure that there are a bunch of colleagues of mine who are probably reaching out more about this kind of stuff in advance and possibly sit there and have this conversation and want to be aware of everything i for my most part never did never did that in a big time i mean of course you reach out that you ask but i was always like the mentality of okay uh i get something and i try to make it make it my own to leave my mark on it like my special signature as me as a as a a performer so for me it's mostly like that's what you do i say okay i'm gonna leave my mark on

it and ask how i can do it in the best way and try to make sure that every performance that i have could be a promo could be a fight uh that i leave my colors on it so it's really very different to answer your question it's very different but i i don't again like i said i take what i get and until now if you look behind me oh i see you I see it. I wasn't not that. I wasn't necessarily not successful with that. Well, listen, you're clearly very successful.

You're the U.S. champion, the United States champion. You see the belt right behind you, which I love that you have that on display. Way cooler than mine. You did win that by way of open challenge against Sammy Zane. And now you're doing the same thing. You're offering an open challenge to defend that same title. I got two questions. Here's the first one.

Is there a superstar that you would love to face in the ring in this open challenge? And who is it? I mean, there are a bunch of people that would love to face. Like, I can give you just three names, for example. I can give you the person who actually introduced me to the main roster in Philadelphia for my appearance right after mania. There would be Shinski Nakamura. That was, but that must happen again.

It was one of the people that also, like, inspired me when I started to, started to wrestle. That was a great match. It is, it is talking about a person who was talking about that his time would probably end at some point. Rather sooner than later would be AJ Stiles. That would be, I, there was just like this thought of it, like is just, would make me very, very happy. and another one that I only faced in a three-way dance was Seamus. Oh, nice. Because when it comes down to physicality, I think what we could present there,

the way we would beat up each other, that would be forgotten in ages. I agree. I was hoping you would say AJ Styles because, wow, as a fan, a spectator, that would be just so great to watch because both of the way, You know, you're both very aggressive, aerial. That'd be incredible. All right, here's one.

You've probably been asked before, but I've got to ask it. Living or dead. Sure. If you could have a match with anyone in WWE history, who would it be? Your choice. Anyone. Anyone. Oh, wow.

You're the first one asking me that. Oh, wow. Are you? I'm not sure. Maybe, maybe not. But I definitely can't remember that question with anyone. Oh, I know, that's a tough one. Now I need to go through it.

I need to go through all my... Oh, oh my God, of course. One of the people, the major inspirations, I would definitely... Let's say two. One thing that people don't expect, I would definitely love to fight Roddy Piper. Yes! I would definitely love to fight Roddy Piper,

and I would definitely fight like an absolute prime Kurt Engel. Oh, dude. Great, great, pants, man. Intensity would be off the charts. Sure, I mean, we all know famously. I mean, shit, Kurt Engel fought with a broken neck. It doesn't get tougher than that. Oh, absolutely.

Roddy, Rottie Piper, yeah. He's definitely not underrated, but people don't talk about him enough. I love that you brought him. He's on my Mount Rushmore. I loved him. We were talking about A.J. Stiles. Again, a couple more questions. What are your thoughts on Cina's final run

and with other superstars that are on the verge of hanging it up with, you know, Randy Orton, A.J. Stiles, you know, how do you feel about them kind of leaving and the changing of the guard? How do you feel about the new future of WWW wrestling? I mean, it's amazing. You got amazing talent. I think we don't need to worry about a thing right now. But, like, leaving, that the old guard leaving, I mean, of course, it's a, it's, first of all, inspiring to be a part of it. but also inspiring to see the change and the opportunity that other people get and how people develop. I mean, like, you see new stars on the horizon that's talking about Dominique Osterio, talking about Braun Breaker. These are just two examples, like of people that are obviously going to carry this company on their backs. And I have no intention to do less than that in the future as well.

So it is, it pushes me. I mean, like personally, I don't see a competition for myself because the only competition for myself is how much I can express myself and I just working on that. I don't really look around me much in that sense. But this is an obvious thing, but they all got leaving, especially when you talk about John Cena's last run and his upcoming last match.

It is having the opportunity to specifically, I had the opportunity to talk with him like a little for a few times. just knowing how precise and professional his mind is towards the entire business and having still the opportunity before these guys leave to just have a touch of feeling how their brains work. It is inspiring. I mean, like, I don't think that anyone should ever feel like they need to be the next someone.

I think it's important to be the, like, the first whole person you you know but it's definitely a good point and who are the people that pave the way for you to those guys are they open to giving advice to the young wrestlers like yourself or do they kind of keep to themselves no it's absolutely there absolutely they are I mean there's it's always also about a thing like how you approach people yeah you know it's I mean, at the end of the day, we all started at some point. We all had people that guided us through our first steps in this business. And I'm pretty sure that they know how that feeling is to be a newbie or trying to make success.

So I felt specifically like talking to John Cena, he was very approachable, Randy, radio orton as well. Like I don't have a bad experience in that sense. That's great. Two more questions. This is one, I just, I know you can only say so much, but it's something that I've really wondered about.

Have you, as a WWE superstar, performer athlete, have you noticed any major differences in the way things were under Vince McMahon's ownership as opposed to how the way things are now under the new WWE ownership? I mean, I can't say anything about it

because I think I was never, I mean, it probably affects the main roster more than it affects NXT or NXT UK, really back in the time, because when I came up to the main roster, that thing already changed, in my opinion. Maybe I might be wrong about this, but to ask you a question, no, I didn't feel much about it. No, yeah, that does make sense. I mean, I guess that does line up that way that you were kind of back and forth while all that was going on. So January 1st, 2026, you're going to be right. here in Syracuse for the W.W.E. Live holiday tour at the upstate medical arena at On Center.

Now, this is a house show. And so for those of you that are listening or watching, a house show basically means it's not a live taping like Raw or SmackDown. I've always felt like, Elia, I've always felt like wrestlers prefer house shows sometimes because you can kind of go off the rails a little bit. You can interact with the crowd more. How do you feel about how shows as opposed to live tapings? You ask me, again, coming back to the point of differentiating, I don't feel different. Like, I like to say how you do one thing, you do all things. So when the audience will arrive at the venue and I will step into the ring, for instance,

and perform the way I perform, there's no difference for me. Like, people are in for a real treat. They're in for a physical performance for seeing real passion, real fighting spirit. at its purest and its core. So for me, no, I don't make a difference because the major thing what WWB presents is captivating storytelling and performances. It doesn't matter if it's TV

or it doesn't matter if it's a house show. People will come into this venue, into this arena, and they will go out, happy and excited. Man, spoken like a true performer and true athlete, man. You've got the right mentality. Thank you. Can you give us a peek into what, What about Bedee fans can expect from Ilya Dragonov

in the near future? A little hints? And what can they expect in Syracuse on January 1st? What I can expect from me on January 20th on Syracuse is what I said right now. Again, you can always expect the absolute maximum for me. A physical, captivating, emotional, passionate fight.

I think people are captivated by true emotion and passion. Because this is how we all want to live our life. And I live my life. every day, with every path I take, with every fight I'm in the same way. The same way. And when it comes down to 2006, I see, I think for some people think that how much more has I'll drag enough to give? And I will tell them, I want to let them know that everything they've seen until now

is just the bare minimum. And there's a lot more that I can give and a lot more that I can. become. That's an incredible answer because you've already given so much. I have no idea how you could give any more. I want to do one last thing if you're cool with it. Can we do six rapid fire questions? Oh, I don't know if I can react that quick.

I'm very slow. All right, we'll do six semi-rapid fire. Hold on. I've got to, I feel like I want to I want to put this on here. Don't be upset if I have too slow. I do my best. All right. Here we go. Elia Dragonoff,

W.W.E. Superstar. Six rapid-fire questions. One, an underrated wrestler, former, or current. J.D. McDonough. Oh. Best heel of all time. JBL.

Love it. Best finishing move of all time. That's, ah. What comes from? Okay, let's say, just what comes out to my 6-1-9. Great one. Ray Mysterio. Best theme song of all time?

I gotta go with John Cena. That's my wife's favorite, actually. Your favorite paperview event from WWE? You know, like Royal Rumble, Wrestling. Which one was Rock versus Hogan? Oh, oh, you're going... I meant like just your favorite to be a part of. Rock versus Hogan was either WrestleMania or SummerSlam.

No, it was WrestleMania. It was wrestling. I bet with numbers sometimes. Okay, let's get Deb on. My personal favorite, NXT Vengeance Day, if I would ride on. Love it.

Last but not least, are you hooded figure? No, I do my open challenge is pretty straightaway. I don't cover. I know. I'm kidding. I had to throw that in there.

Eulia Draganoff. It was an honor to meet you and to get to interview you. Thank you for your time. The WWE live holiday tour at the Upstate Medical Arena at On Center is on January 1st, 26. Get your tickets now. Ilya, any last words, plugs, anything you want to say? I think everything that was necessary to set is said and done.

But don't forget to tune in on Fridays. Don't forget it to tune in when I fight. Because when the other dragon steps into the ring, when the mad dragon steps into the ring, pain. shall entertain you. Yes. Elya, I liked you before. You've turned me into a fan.
