Rusev (now known by his real name, Miro) has been very open about his WWE career since he left the company and began communicating with his fans on Twitch and YouTube.

“The Bulgarian Brute” discussed his most nerve-racking WWE moments in one of his latest videos, which included his 2014 Royal Rumble debut and his WrestleMania 31 match against John Cena.

He added that he was also nervous when he fought The Undertaker and The Big Show for the first time, as both men did not have plans for the match and simply said, “I’ll see you in the ring.”
