Ilja Dragunov To Bron Breakker: The Mad Dragon Is Going To Make You Suffer

Ilja Dragunov says he'll show Bron Breakker what intensity is all about.

On the May 20 episode of WWE Raw, Bron Breakker dominated Kale Dixon and brutally attacked him backstage. He then dropped Ricochet with a Spear backstage while the former WWE Intercontinental Champion was standing next to Ilja Dragunov.

Speaking on Raw Talk, Ilja Dragunov was asked whether he thought that Bron Breakker meant to attack him.

"I don't know. That is really the question. But the funny thing is that I already realize that Raw is a different beast. In NXT, I used to be the undisputed king, the czar. But here, so many people are much taller and heavier than I am. But guess what? I overcome. I crawled, I struggled, I screamed, and I cried in pain, but eventually, I overcome. Bron, you're the golden child, gifted at all sports, and you think that is intensity? No. It is not having all of that. It is developing skills and endurance when no one thinks you are gonna make it. Intensity means suffering, and The Mad Dragon is gonna make you suffer," Dragunov said.
