WWE Star Praises Natalya’s ‘The Dungeon’ After Recent Return

WWE

A recently crowned WWE champion has thanked Natalya’s training facility, The Dungeon, for its part in their on-screen return.

Having suffered an injury in September of last year, Dragunov made his return to WWE television earlier in October.

The October 17 episode of WWE SmackDown saw Ilja Dragunov return, answering Sami Zayn’s United States Open Challenge.

With Dragunov as the new WWE United States Champion, Natalya praised the training ethic of the returning star, saying he “wrestled like it was WrestleMania” while training at The Dungeon.

Training at The Dungeon mere days before his on-screen return, Dragunov has now responded to Natalya’s praise on Twitter, posting:

“How you do one thing, you do all things.

“Appreciate The Dungeon for their support.

“A great place to sharpen the craft🔥”

Natalya has recently shown her support for her WWE tag team partner, Maxxine Dupri, revealing that she had a championship match against Becky Lynch while being unwell.

With The Dungeon playing host to stars from across the world, Natalya also recently praised an independent wrestling star who trained there during a tour of the United States.

How you do one thing you do all things.

Appreciate the Dungeon for their support.

A great place to sharpen the craft🔥 https://t.co/ShWY7pgDG1
