I don't like that he changed his accent, that seems dumb to me but let's see how the match goes.

Yeah the gimmick is based on some truth with his background but the accent drags it down because he hammed it up too much and turned his gimmick into just a stereotypical evil foreigner gimmick. If he dialed it down a bit, he wouldn't break it as much as he's done in recent promos.
Sort of like how Lana after a while kept breaking her Russian accent during her heel promos.
