Ilja Dragunov, AEW’s latest acquisition, will be making his AEW in-ring debut on Wednesday live on Dynamite.

His opponent has not been named yet but the former NXT champion is very eager to resume his in-ring activities, with his last time in the ring on television being the April 17 episode of Smackdown in the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal.

His last regular one-on-one match dates back to March 20 in a losing effort against Carmelo Hayes, also on Smackdown.

AEW President Tony Khan said last weekend that Dragunov’s visa was not sorted until Wednesday before Dynamite hit the air, so his teaser was thrown in late. Dragunov appeared live at WrestleDream after he was introduced by Renee Paquette.
