Booker T Is Really High On Ilja Dragunov, JD McDonagh And Axiom

Booker T praises Axiom, JD McDonagh, and Ilja Dragunov.

WWE Hall of Famer Booker T joined the NXT commentary team in October 2022, and he has watched the brand’s top stars on a weekly basis for the past few months. Ahead of NXT Stand & Deliver, a few individuals have particularly impressed him.

Speaking on Under The Ring, Booker T was asked to name which stars stand out to him in NXT. He pointed to Axiom, McDonagh, and Ilja Dragunov.

“The three guys that I’m really high on, that’s JD McDonagh, Ilja Dragunov, and Axiom,” Booker T said. “Axiom could be the next great masked superstar. I know we got Dragon Lee here now, and people have given Dragon Lee a lot of high praise, but this kid Axiom is definitely unbelievable. JD McDonagh, not too many come better than this kid. He’s a next-level talent, as well as Dragunov. Those guys go out there, and they really make you feel a certain way when you watch them. Pay attention to Stand & Deliver because Dragunov and JD McDonagh could steal the show.”

Dragunov, McDonagh, Axiom, and a fourth contender will challenge Wes Lee for the NXT North American Championship at NXT Stand & Deliver. The fifth man in the match will be determined through a battle royal on the March 28 episode of WWE NXT.

WrestleZone will have coverage of NXT Stand & Deliver as it airs on April 1.
