For those wondering why Ilja Dragunov has been missing from WWE programming for months, there's apparently one very simple answer: ***** ytics.
Per WrestleVotes Live on Fightful Select, the Mad Dragon's name has reportedly not been mentioned backstage "in weeks," and one major factor for his ongoing absence is WWE's reliance on ***** ytics. Basically, WWE operates under a "Moneyball" approach these days, ***** ysing numbers, clicks, view time, etc when looking at which talents to feature on TV. As TC of WrestleVotes put it in regards to Dragunov, "they don't click on his name," and that WWE nowadays uses such ***** ytics "more than anyone will ever know".
It's not just Ilja Dragunov who's been impacted by this approach, as TC suggested the former United States Champion is one of several names in a similar position. Likewise, it was also pointed out that Ilja has minimal merchandise on WWE Shop, which makes it tricky for fans to order his merch when, well, there's only one Dragunov t-shirt to buy; a t-shirt that (potentially) ominously is on clearance right now, with nearly 50% off.
In the case of Ilja Dragunov, he last wrestled on the SmackDown before WrestleMania 42, where he was involved in the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal that was won by Royce Keys. Since then, the 32-year-old Russian has been completely absent from TV. In fact, Ilja has only had eight main TV matches in 2026 so far, though he has also worked the odd WWE Main Event taping or live event match.
For those wondering whether there have been any injuries at play for Dragunov, all reports suggest he's been fit and healthy this entire time, and he's also been shown training at Natalya and TJ Wilson's Dungeon numerous times in the four months he's been away from TV.

A former Spartan will reportedly explore a return to college basketball following the recent injunction that allows a fifth year of eligibility for players in the 2022 class.
Former Michigan State guard Tre Holloman could return for another season with the Spartans this upcoming season. Jamie Shaw of On3 reported on Saturday that Holloman will be "exploring college options" for next season following the notable injunction that was approved on Friday.
Holloman played his first three years of his collegiate career with the Spartans before transferring to NC State for this past season. He appeared in 106 games during his three years with the Spartans, averaging 9.1 points and 3.7 ****** ists per game during his final season in 2024-25.
In his lone year with NC State, Holloman appeared in 32 games (27 of which were starts). He ended the season averaging 9.2 points and 2.1 ****** ists per game with the Wolfpack.
Holloman has been back in the East Lansing, Mich. area in recent weeks, playing in the Moneyball Pro-Am event and presumably hanging out with Spartan players. It'll be interesting to see if Michigan State would welcome him back to the program as a reserve point guard or if Holloman will look elsewhere for a starting role in his final year of college hoops.

Of the many shocking moments in Michigan State athletics this decade, perhaps the most surprising was the decision of MSU basketball star Tre Holloman to leave Michigan State by way of the transfer portal for NC State. Holloman was a beloved Spartan, and MSU fans were in uproar over the decision in what became an extremely divisive moment in MSU basketball history.
Now, Tre Holloman is back in Lansing, where he lives and raises his daughter, and was in attendance at this week's Moneyball Pro-Am. Naturally, Holloman was asked about the decision to leave, along with a potential return if the NCAA allows players like him and Jaxon Kohler to have one more year of eligibility.
Holloman laughed and said 'no comment' when asked if he regretted his decision to leave, and said that if there was a good plan for him at MSU, he would love to come back for one more season if he had the chance. You can watch the full clip below:

HOLT – Tre Holloman arrived wearing a Michigan State sweatshirt with the same Spartan head logo he famously protected and kissed. The moment that brought him heaps of adoration.
From the same fanbase that, two months later, turned on him in 2025 when the team captain shockingly announced he would be entering the transfer portal after three seasons at MSU.
Admittedly, things did not go as planned when the combo guard left Tom Izzo's program and landed at North Carolina State with coach Will Wade. But on Tuesday, July 21, Holloman returned to mid-Michigan after a stint with the Orlando Magic in the NBA Summer League to get some run with and against his former teammates at the Moneyball Pro-Am.
And to profess his appreciation for Izzo, the Spartans and the community he now lives in as a new father.
"This is home for me," Holloman said before taking the court at Holt High. "I was here for three years. My daughter's from Lansing, and I live in Lansing. So this is home."

HOLT — Zander Woodruff hasn't given up on his Division I basketball dreams. But he sees a specific Division II opportunity as his best chance to grow and perhaps still get there.
The Lansing Community College All-American and former Laingsburg High School star is headed to Roosevelt University in Chicago to play for Illinois basketball legend Dee Brown, who's in his fifth season coaching the Lakers, who play in the GLIAC with mostly Michigan-based schools.
"The main thing was the coach — coach Dee Brown — over there has a lot of good connections, and also he was a really successful player and I've heard from other players that he's a really good guard coach, so I'm just going to go and learn from him," Woodruff said this week, after playing in the Moneyball Pro-Am summer league, on a team with a couple of his former LCC teammates (DeAire Lee and Lamont Green-Torbert), as well as MSU's Jordan Scott and Julius Avent. "He can just get me better. That's all I want to do, is get better, and being in Chicago, downtown, when once I went on my visit, it kind of just clicked right away. It was a thing where, this is a spot I want to play basketball."
Woodruff has two seasons of eligibility remaining at the Division II level and likely three seasons left if he includes Division I in his journey. Division I has adopted a five-years-to-play-five-seasons model, while Division II, for the time being, still allows four years of eligibility.
Woodruff is one of the more successful and decorated players in LCC history. He's the program's all-time leading scorer and, last season, led the Stars to a seventh-pace finish at the NJCAA Division II national championships, after which he was named a First-Team All-American.
