OYDK
King Of The Ring
Since his debut, Rusev has been built as an unstoppable machine who, unlike many other heels, has been able to defeat his opponents through sheer power and skill. Everybody knows of Rusev's backstory; going nearly a year unpinned or submitted before winning the US Championship from Sheamus, entering into a great feud with John Cena, and now currently, splitting from Lana and beginning a four-way love... square(?) angle with Dolph Ziggler. To some it may seem as if Rusev has taken a step down lately, but it honestly surprised me that WWE booked him so strong on Raw last night, giving him the clean win over Cesaro and nearly beating John Cena before Owens' interference. This leads me to believe that Rusev is still very high on WWE's list and is somebody that they are focused on heading into the future.
Which leads me to my question. What's in store for Rusev following this angle with Dolph Ziggler, which hopefully will end at Summerslam? Is WWE building Rusev for bigger and better things, and if so, what may they be? I wholly believe that Rusev is the man to break the mould of the "foreign heel monster" gimmick that has failed time and time again. I'm praying that they put Lana and Rusev together again as I feel like they were a perfect match and she is the final piece to his puzzle.
Thought on Rusev and his direction going forward?
