Wonder how folks would have reacted if Rusev were to win the RR. Not necessarily the night of, but once it sunk in that it'd be Rusev vs Brock headlining WM. Brock would end up full face for that one. I think they'd put on a good bout.

Anywho, props to Miroslav for making this character work. Workrate is great too. They keep building him this way with this streak and they'll have to consider putting him in that main title picture, can only be a undefeated US champ for so long (word to Bill.)

I was really hoping they'd swerve it at the end with Roman celebrating and Rusev running back in and superkicking him over the top

Rusev vs Lesnar would be piff :wow:

I don't think he deserves this mammoth push in which he has gone over almost everyone in the company, but he is very talented in the ring, promos are underrated and does his character well.
His "mammoth push" is not genuine or indicative of the company's faith in Rusev or anything like that. They've just been fattening him up to feed him to someone in a classic "fukk YA MURICA" match, which it looks like is gonna be to Cena. Of course.

He'll probably become a midcard jobber heel once his streak is over, which is a shame.

I like his chest. I like his in ring style. I like his pseudo Russian-Dominican accent when he speaks. His theme. Rusev's great in my book. Hope he sticks around.

The WWE fukked up by not giving us that Roman/Rusev program after the crowd went nuts for their staredown during the battle royale right before MITB.

This is what happens when you slow build and don't change the gameplan.


When he gets the opportunity to face a top guy it becomes intriguing.

His super slow build on mic time is solid too. He really says all he needs to say and it's good enough for me. Can this character ever become a face though?
Russian mark henry is his dace ceiling
They will have him joking with a midget and he will never be credible though
