One top AEW star doesn’t have nice things to say about Ilja Dragunov after his WWE exit

The big news story of the day is PWInsider’s report about Ilja Dragunov leaving WWE after his contract expired. It didn’t take long for AEW fans to wonder if Dragunov is now free to show up as a big surprise at All In London at Wembley Stadium on Aug. 30. There is a Casino Gauntlet match on the card that will almost certainly feature a surprise entrant or three. Hangman Page has also issued an open challenge for everyone and anyone to come fight for the AEW world trios championship at the event. With that in mind, it caught my attention today when AEW International Champion Kyle Fletcher reacted to the Dragunov news by posting this photo of a match they had together back in 2019. 2019 pic.twitter.com/s29XgNs6Mr — “Protostar” Kyle Fletcher (@kylefletcherpro) August 20, 2026 That scumbag MJF responded with an insult towards Fletcher and Dragunov.
