Big Title Change At WWE NXT Takeover 36
Ilja Dragunov is your new WWE NXT UK Champion.
Tonight's NXT Takeover 36 event saw Dragunov defeat WALTER to win the title, in a rematch from their big match held on the October 29, 2020 NXT UK TV episode. The brutal back & forth bout saw Dragunov win by submission.
This is Dragunov's first reign with the title. WALTER won the title from Pete Dunne back on April 5, 2019 at "Takeover: New York" and held the strap for 869 days.
Stay tuned for more. Below are a few shots of tonight's title change from the Capitol Wrestling Center at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando:
