We’ve heard about living through Groundhog Day, but at the moment, we’re all living through Rusev Day! Every day is Rusev Day, and the WWE fans are more than happy to show their love and support for this newly ideated holiday. Rusev is one of the most popular Superstars on the SmackDown Live roster, and has the opportunity to emulate what Daniel Bryan accomplished nearly five years ago.

Rusev certainly made a big impact during his first year on the main roster, going undefeated for a year before eventually losing to John Cena. Rusev was booked as an unstoppable monster, but after a while, the creative team lost the plot, and he was lost in the shuffle. Being a part of the League of Nations didn’t help his cause, and he soon found himself on SmackDown Live after the WWE Draft.

Rusev made the most of his opportunities, and along with Aiden English, has certainly captured the imagination of the fans. What could’ve been the death knell for his WWE career has now become an opportunity for Rusev to become a main eventer on SmackDown Live, and one can only hope that WWE doesn’t drop the ball with Rusev, like they did with Daniel Bryan.
