20 Unexpected things that might happen in WWE by the end of the year

#13 Rusev and Lana leave WWE

Is Rusev tired of being overlooked by WWE management?

Let’s be honest here. Rusev is rumoured to be unhappy in his current role with WWE and while he seems to be sticking things out so far, it doesn’t seem like that’s going to last much longer. In fact, Rusev is rumoured to have asked for his release multiple times due to his poor position on the card, which means that a release might be in his and his wife, Lana’s future.

While this is just speculation at this time, Rusev’s current gimmick on SmackDown Live doesn’t seem to be getting a lot of attention, and he is no closer to finally putting himself into the WWE title picture either. There were also rumours that Rusev would get a huge makeover, be paired back up with his wife Lana, and would turn heel again, but not of those came to fruition so far either.

In the end, the decision is ultimately going to come down to how the two are treated in the coming months, which based on WWE’s past decision, will lead to the two leaving for good.
