Ilja Dragunov was asked if WWE's last offer to him included a raise or a paycut: “To be honest, I’ve too much discreet and too much of a businessman and a gentleman myself to talk about these kinds of things. Everything I can say is that it was nothing that I felt satisfying, and nothing that gave me the perspective of, ‘Okay, I must stick with what I hear.’” (@arielhelwani)

Ilja Dragunov singles out Bandido as someone in AEW he’s been impressed with: “A lot of people are just absolutely fascinating there. They really are unique in their own way. For instance, but this is also somebody I have been impressed about at all times, is a person like Bandido. What this person is capable of is just like somebody straight out of a video game. That is incredible. Some things he makes so effortlessly. I don't have the capacity to describe that.” (TMZ's Inside The Ring | @BransonTMZ)
