Ilja Dragunov's NXT Clash With Ridge Holland Ends In Injury Scare; Stretchered Out Of 12/19 WWE NXT

BY SACNILK

Orlando, December 19 - On the December 19 episode of WWE NXT, the conclusion saw Ilja Dragunov leaving the arena on a stretcher after his match against Ridge Holland took an unexpected turn. ## Earlier in the night, Holland interrupted Dragunov, expressing his quest for self-discovery following his departure from tag team partner Butch on the November 24 episode of WWE Friday Night SmackDown. In an attempt to find his footing, Holland challenged the NXT Champion to a match, a challenge that Dragunov willingly accepted. During this confrontation, Holland acknowledged the need to rewrite his history, acknowledging his reputation for injuries and accidents. ## Regrettably, what was intended to be the initial chapter of Ridge Holland's redemption story took an unforeseen twist. In the midst of the match, while Dragunov was attempting to escape a hold, Holland inadvertently dropped him in a move resembling Saraya's Rampaige. Suddenly, the NXT champion encountered issues with his neck, prompting an immediate halt to the match, and Dragunov was swiftly escorted out on a stretcher. ## It's worth noting that Fightful's Corey Brennan reported this incident as a scripted storyline. Unfortunately, Holland has a history of accidental injuries, notably causing Big E's neck injury in March 2022. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...
