It has been confirmed Ilja got a new theme, but funny thing I found is his old theme came from the NFL

Spoiler: Czar's Horseman

 

[Y2Jayne]

Dragunov's previous theme was better.

Torpedo Moscow is one of those moves I have no clue how wrestlers perform so well without getting concussed.

 

[Y2Jayne]

I remember when Tyler Bate won the UK tournament against Pete Dunne, he was so over and promising, then it felt like he lost a lot of steam on NXT UK, I'm glad he's getting a new start.

I like how many mixed stables we've seen these last few years : Legado, Schism, Judgement Day, the OC... makes me wonder how Imperium would look with an extra female member

I was saying this because there's been a few times when his head actually connected with his opponent's. One time it was with Gunther.

Jacy looking fine as hell

 

[Y2Jayne]

Ah shame Gigi attacked before the end, I was curious to see if Jacy would keep using the cyclone kick as her finisher.

 

[Y2Jayne]

Really digging that Youtuber gimmick for Stevie. It brings a lot of possibilities for rivalries.

 

[Y2Jayne]

Isla Dawn's attire could start a war

 

[Y2Jayne]

Was that Ivy Nile's first solo loss?
