But I really, really don’t think that was bad booking. Rusev’s fine. The most dominant guy the WWE has ever seen had to resort to taking advantage of a manager bump distraction to pick up the win.
People are comparing this to Wyatt’s loss last year but I think this one is way less problematic for Rusev (assuming he continues to be booked as a brutal sambo-kicking monster). I’m a little tired of the nationalist stuff but there’s a lot of ways his story could go from here, including up.
Sorry Nathan Paoletta I just don’t see it. Rarely to you lose big like that, and then get pushed ahead of the guy you just lost to.
I bet we’ll see Rusev coming back and a rematch for the US title at Extreme Rules. They’re not going to keep Cena with a secondary belt forever!
And when Rusev loses at Extreme Rules, like Wyatt did last year?
My main problem was that, Rusev’s first loss should have been a moment to elevate someone new and on the rise. Letting it be Cena beat yet another NXT guy, is just so tired.
Next year, he destroys Hideo, or Zayn.
Wyatt won at Extreme Rules last year!
Rusev has been booked way stronger than Wyatt all year, ‘s all I’m saying. Undefeated streaks have to end sometime.
(I think you feel about this the way I feel about Wyatt being eternally mired in pointless midcard purgatory)
I was thinking of Payback
Yeah I can’t wait for Wyatt to get his day in the sun.
Cute!
