6 WWE Superstars who desperately need a new gimmick

#5 Rusev

Back when every day used to be 'Rusev Day'

Almost a fortnight ago, Rusev got his US citizenship and on the following night, he saw his wife Lana make out with Bobby Lashley right in front of him on RAW. This booking had the entire WWE Universe in shock. who felt sorry for the man standing inside the squared circle.

WWE’s attempt at recreating some of the popular storylines from the Attitude Era did not go down well with the fans. There was a huge amount of backlash on social media where people went on to say that the entire segment was uncomfortable to watch.

On the last episode of Monday Night RAW, we saw an angry Rusev take out all his frustration on Baron Corbin and Randy Orton. But is using his wife -- in a storyline which shows her having an extra-marital affair with a fellow WWE Superstar -- the best way to show how destructive Rusev can be?

Rusev was immensely popular with the crowd and he still manages to fetch a similar reaction. He doesn’t need a mockery of his personal life played on live television week after week to keep him relevant in the WWE.

Hopefully, WWE will drop this storyline soon and find a way to recreate Rusev as an indestructible force without involving his personal life.
