Ilja Dragunov interrupts and makes his way to the ring.  

Ilja says a few months ago, they stood in this ring and you thanked him for pushing Trick to a whole new level.  Ilja says he admired Trick's courage.  He says he is proud of Trick.  He says he couldn't watch it live because he was getting into the zone for his match, but he did watch the match.  You snatched victory from the jaws of defeat in the last few seconds. He says he thought he would have had a conversation with someone else, but you are on a roll of momentum.  He says Trick is the talk of all of WWE.  Ilja says he says this with respect for his journey, but at New Year's Evil, it comes to an end.

Trick says if Ilja said that to his eyes a few months ago, he might have thought if he had what it takes to beat Ilja Dragunov.  He is not showing his worth, he is the man now.  Trick says he is going to beat the best that NXT has to offer and he will be your next champion.

Hayes asks who gains more by separating them?  Hayes says Ilja said what he said because he would have to deal with both of them.

Ilja says that Hayes is arrogant and delusional. 

Hayes says Ilja is more calculated than he is.  If you played them against each other and then attack Trick, you would have things under control.   He tells Trick this was Ilja's plan all along.

Ilja says he doesn't know what Hayes is trying to create but he didn't attack Hayes, if Hayes was even attacked.

Trick asks Ilja if he just said that.
