Will "Rusev Day" catch on as much as "Yes! Yes! Yes!"?

Underdog: Take one look at Rusev. Does that man scream ‘UNDERDOG’ to you? Probably not. However, he is often booked to face more established WWE Superstars like John Cena and Randy Orton and it’s very rare that he’s the favorite when he's involved in a high-profile pay-per-view match.

Held back: After becoming a full-time member of the WWE main roster in 2014, Rusev went almost a year without being pinned or made to submit. Since then, his unstoppable aura has disappeared and many fans believe WWE wasted his potential by having him lose to Cena at WrestleMania 31.

High-quality matches: “The Bulgarian Brute” is always a solid performer but he isn’t usually one to steal the show in singles matches, so this is the weakest category when comparing him to Daniel Bryan.

Potential to be champion: Forgive us for getting carried away, but does “Rusev Day” have the potential to be as popular as “The Yes Movement”? It was through the power of the audience that Bryan ascended to the top of WWE, so we can't rule out a similar thing happening with Rusev!
