#4 Aiden English
There isn't anybody on the Smackdown Live roster that has more history with Rusev than Aiden English himself. The duo was part of Rusev Day, as English had a huge part to play in Rusev getting over despite the fact that they were heels. The WWE Universe loved them, and they wouldn't stop cheering and chanting for Rusev Day - even hijacking a few matches.
Really, they should've had reigns with the Smackdown Tag Team Championship, but it simply wasn't meant to be. And on the September 18th episode of Smackdown, we saw English turn heel after viciously attacking Rusev and stating that Lana was having an affair with himself. However, it was later revealed the following week that English was the one who had made a move on Lana but she rejected him.
Their feud came to a simple end when Rusev defeated English in a normal Singles match on the October 23rd, 2018 episode of Smackdown. This was very disappointing as the feud was evidently underwhelming. The truth is, they should've never been split up as English has fallen off the pedestal which is a massive shame due to the fact that he is very talented.
However, there wouldn't be a better opportunity for English to reinvent himself than to target Rusev again. He could show jealousy about the fact that Rusev managed to gain a title after they went their separate ways. And a championship win for English would do wonders for his career, as WWE could make a bigger deal out of this potential rivalry as they should've done before.
