In 2018, Rusev has been one of SmackDown Live's most popular stars, with his Rusev Day chant only making him more beloved by the fans.

The best of all Rusev Days came last week though, when Rusev Day fell on Christmas Day, which is also the Bulgarian's birthday, and saw Rusev win his third United States Championship, this one from Shinsuke Nakamura.

We all know that the former NXT Champion is owed a rematch, and according to the Observer, will be getting just that at the Royal Rumble pay per view.

Though this may suggest neither man will be in the 30-Man, Men's Rumble Match, we have seen plenty of Superstars in the past perform double duty at the iconic January pay per view.

Regardless, we can't see the company taking the title off of the Bulgarian, just weeks after winning it.
