8 surprising moments from Raw and Smackdown Live this week

#8 It's fricken Rusev Day!

Rusev is finally getting the push he needs to evolve into a legitimate main event player.

At the peak of his popularity, Rusev was possibly the most over superstar in the entire WWE, as his natural charisma, comedic timing, and just plain athleticism were enough to draw fans towards the likable "Bulgarian brute."However, Rusev's thunderous crowd reaction, soaring merchandise sales, and excellent matches were not enough to force WWE to rethink their booking plans, as Rusev lost marquee matches at major pay-per-views.

But as the saying goes expected the unexpected especially in wrestling, as Rusev is now the number one contender for the WWE Title at Extreme Rules, and that was not a sentence no one ever thought they would hear, and that makes it the biggest surprise of the week.
