Corey Brennan from Fightful mentioned that those he spoke with at the Performance Center expressed hope for her comeback soon.

– During an interview on Gorilla Position, Gunther was asked about the possibility of adding Ilja Dragunov to Imperium in the near future. I think Ilja Dragunov is a better enemy than a friend. Yeah, it has to come down to that. He’s one of us in terms of Kaiser, Ilja, and I, we all have wrestled each other years back. So, I naturally want him to be where I am, and I think he’s somebody that brings out the best in me, and I’m someone that brings out the best in him. I think before it can happen, he has his own way to go, wherever he ends up.
