In the Ring: Ilja Dragunov Wants to Repeat History; Breakker & McDonagh Weigh In

Ilja makes his way out to a hot crowd who show the former champ much love. He plays it up, working the crowd for a few moments, before hopping on the mic. Ilja speaks of having defeated the unbeatable monster, Gunther, and how pain is his friend. He then talks about doing it one more time--beating the unbeatable, this time in Bron Breakker. JD McDonagh makes his way out on the mic, angry at Ilja. Ilja recalls beating Jordan Devlin (JD McDonagh) so badly he had to leave NXT UK. JD owns it that he was beaten by Ilja, but "this is not your time. This is my time." He tells Ilja to stay where he's been the past few months--on the sidelines--"because if I need to stop you one more time, just one more, I swear to God I"ll end your career!" NXT Champion Bron Breakker's music plays and the champ comes out on the mic. He welcomes Ilja to NXT and calls him a warrior. "But with all due respect, my man, this NXT Championship isn't going anywhere!" JD insults Bron, calling him a meathead. The crowd chants for a "triple threat"; JD suggests the two "alpha males" beat the snot out of each other before he gets his title shot. And in a great nod to his uncle, Scott Steiner, Breakker uses Steiner Math to express the 33 and one-third percent chance they have. He then announces it'll be a triple-threat at Halloween Havoc and tells the boys he'll see them there.
