Alexander Wolfe takes on Ilja Dragunov, The Grizzled Young Veterans look to NXT TakeOver: Blackpool II, Trent Seven comes in contact with Kona Reeves and a returning Eddie Dennis, A-Kid battles Jack Starz, and Ridge Holland debuts against Oliver Carter.

Despite Alexander Wolfe’s recent overtures in favor of Ilja Dragunov perhaps joining Imperium, Dragunov chose to shockingly side with Gallus when push came to shove against Imperium forces two weeks ago. In the wake of their conflict, the man from Moscow looked to step out of the shadow of his one-time Dresden trainer when he battled Wolfe one-on-one.

The subsequent main event contest proved brutal both inside and outside the ring. In the height of the action, the sudden interference of Imperium inevitably tipped the contest in Wolfe’s favor and allowed him to seize the victory with powerbomb. When the intimidating faction launched a 4-on-1 post-match assault on Ilja, their onslaught brought Gallus to the ring to even the odds and send the “sacred” faction heading for the hills.
