Trick Williams appreciates Ilja Dragunov.
In the main event of NXT Spring Breakin' Week One, Trick Williams beat Ilja Dragunov to win the NXT Championship for the first time. Thi♎s marked the fourth time they had faced off, and each one of their previous bouts 🌞sparked plenty of buzz.
Spe♛aking on , Trick Wil🐠liams was asked to comment on what he would say to Dragunov.
“Me and Ilja went to war four times, and I credit Ilja Dragunov as the opponent who’s taken my career to the next level on multiple occasions. The first time we had a match was probably around two years ago. That was the first time I think I was accepted as a true performer here, that I belonged in this business. Second time after that was Heatwave. We went to war, and everybody saw that, ‘Oh, Trick Williams, he’s the real deal.’ Last time was Vengeance Day, when Melo turned on me, but another banger. So for me to finally get the win over Ilja Dragunov in the fourth one, man, no doubt about it, that’s my brother. I love Ilja Dragunov. The things he’s done for me in my career has been nothing short of amazing, so I forever will appreciate him for that. He’s second to none," Williams said.
