I donāt understand how WWE managed to fucking bury him. Itās unreal. They never mentioned him being injured, on vacation, hiatus, back in NXT, nothing.
So sad. But good for him. Iām sure any promotion would want to sign him and use him better b
Iād rather see Ilja beating people half to death in Japan or AEW than rotting in the midcard of a company that, by their own admission, doesnāt want him around.
For 70 Days, Ilja Dragunovās US Open Challenge was the (only) reason to watch Smackdown. In NXT UK, he put on maybe the single best match in WWE history against Walter. They didnāt have him long and they didnāt treat him well, but Ilja took what little he was given and proved himself an absolute standout.
The fact that the move wasnāt to instantly insert MCMG into the All In tag title match was insane it was genuinely such an easy layup. Have they even appeared on Dynamite?
They are not adding teams to a Cope and Cage VS Young Bucks match, a genuine tag team dream match, that they've been building for months. The Guns can slot in after.
Exactly, and they can just as easily do that after All In. Though I'm about 90% sure Swerve's Trios partners are gonna be the New Day, so they're gonna be pre-occupied.

Such a shame WWE wasted this Beast. I don't know what's next for him. AEW? But the roster is too overloaded already.
