Here's what I don't understand. In order for someone to "get over," they have to win matches at some point and it can't just be wins over jobbers. They have to beat someone important. So you can't have everyone win all the time. At some point, someone you care about has to lose. That's how competition works
Watching television is not an activity.
But that doesn't have to be in your second match on a new brand. If you spend a month or two looking impressive picking up wins against some lower/midcard guys, you look better in a loss against a main-event guy than you do in your second match. Plus, Ilja just dropped the NXT title about a month ago. He needs to be built back up a little first.

Hasn’t it came out he’s likely WWE bound once his contract expires? He was backstage with Cody once and helping Jade train down at PC center in a pic.
I think with a number of stars you have to think , is this guy a future main event caliber talent? The push we did with him , does it make sense to make him lose clean.
In the Sting case and his 9 month push , Flair could have easily beat Sting in the final minute. But they wanted to see if they had something in him and they choose wisely. The draw helped a guy beginning out and it worked.
So there are guys who aren’t planned as big stars ahead. Ilja could get a midcard push after this to build him on RAW because he just came from NXT.
LA Knight became a rare case where his losses didn’t affect him as his charisma and mic skills got him over. Mick Foley and Chris Jericho in 2000s could do this. Jericho once lost like 6-8 PPVs in a row and still was over due to that.
It’s a rare deal some can do that.
