The Big Twist: Major Title Shakeup At NXT UK TV Tapings *CONTAINS SPOILERS*

That’s a big one. There are all kinds of wrestlers on the WWE roster and some of them are better known than others. With so many stars out there, it is difficult to keep track of everyone out there, as WWE has its roster split up into different groups. Now one of them is going to be on the shelf for the time being, which unfortunately has major title implications.

According to Inside The Ropes, Ilja Dragunov was forced to vacate the NXT United Kingdom Title at this week’s television tapings. Dragunov appeared at the tapings in a walking boot and announced that he was unable to defend the championship. As a result, an eight man tournament to crown a new champion was announced, with the winner being crowned the new champion. There are no details on Dragunov’s injury. The announcement should air on NXT UK TV before the end of the month.

Opinion: While this isn’t good to hear, it does explain a few things. Dragunov has not been around very much lately and has not wrestled in over two months. Such an injury is terrible to see, but vacating the title is a better way to go if he is unable to get back in the ring at the moment. Hopefully he is back sooner than later, as he is far too talented of a star to have sitting on the sidelines if it can be avoided.

What do you think of Dragunov? What should he do when he gets back? Let us know in the comments below.
