WWE released a lot of talented superstars including Tye Dillinger and Hideo Itami a few weeks ago, while underused superstars like Dean Ambrose, the Revival, and Mike Kanellis, have asked for their releases from the company as well.

Given that Rusev has indirectly hinted at his exit from the company, we may see his burial on WWE TV in the coming weeks. Currently, Rusev is involved in a tag team angle with the Japanese superstar, Shinsuke Nakamura, and they seem to be settling as the mid-card heels of the tag team division.

They were present on the latest edition of SmackDown Live where they came out after the match between the Bar and the team of Ricochet and Aleister Black and attacked the faces.

That Rusev is leaving the company is pure speculation, but here are the 3 reasons why the European superstar may seriously be thinking about his release.

#3 To switch to another profession

Anyone who follows Rusev on Twitter may know how funny this man is in real life

While Rusev may be the Bulgarian Brute on WWE TV, the European superstar is actually a very humorous person off TV. In case you do not know about Rusev's real-life nature, I would advise you to have a go through his tweets on Twitter.

The sense of humor The Bulgarian Brute has is just phenomenal, and he can easily switch from a wrestler to a comedian on the big screen. Who knows, Rusev may even perform in Hollywood movies in the future.

#2 Poor booking in WWE

Right now, neither Rusev nor Shinsuke Nakamura is in the United States Championship picture

Rusev and Shinsuke Nakamura battled for the United States Championship for months and when Rusev captured the championship on the Christmas special episode of SmackDown Live, it looked like both Rusev's character and the US title would get a fresh start.

The McMahon family had promised us that there will be no automatic rematches, yet we got a rematch between the former champion and the titleholder on the kick-off show of Royal Rumble.

Shinsuke Nakamura won the United States Championship in a controversial manner that night. This move puzzled the WWE Universe as they expected Rusev to have a prosperous reign at least until WrestleMania 35. Just when we thought Nakamura and Rusev could have a fantastic WrestleMania feud, the creative team put the title on R-Truth.

Not only did they put the title on R-Truth, they even formed a tag team of rivals, Rusev and Nakamura, for no reason. These decisions might have forced Rusev to finally think about his exit.

#1 To join All Elite Wrestling (AEW)

Will the Lion of Bulgaria join All Elite Wrestling?

All Elite Wrestling has made headlines by signing some of the top sports entertainers in the pro wrestling industry.

Superstars like Chris Jericho, Neville, and Kenny Omega have already become a part of the AEW roster, headed by the Young Bucks and Cody Rhodes. All Elite Wrestling seems to be emerging as the top competitor for WWE in the future, and thus the stakeholders of AEW will try their best to sign the best talent available.

Rusev, as we all know, can be a top star in Vince McMahon's company, but the 50/50 nature of WWE booking has led to his downfall. If he decides to join All Elite Wrestling, he will undoubtedly get better opportunities there.
