Ilja Dragunov went to war with Dijak at the aptly-named WWE NXT Battleground event and came out as the Last Man Standing.
In an absolutely violent match that involved kendo sticks, steel chairs, steel stairs, and more, neither man wanted to give in.
Still, in the end, Dijak could not respond to the count because Dragunov sprang from the top of the steps inside the ring and drove Dijak's head straight down onto the steel chair in a gnarly display of dominance.
