7 things WWE subtly told us on RAW: Lana aligns with returning superstar, Vince McMahon cancels former champion's push?

#3. Rusev has turned face after that bizarre ending

So that was a rather bizarre ending of RAW. We know you were probably waiting to read about it, so here it is. Firstly, Rusev helped save Seth Rollins against Randy Orton earlier in the night and in exchange, got a WWE Universal Championship match by replacing the injured Rey Mysterio.

However, prior to the match, Maria Kanellis revealed that Rusev was not the father of her child.

During the match against Rollins, Bobby Lashley came out and returned a month earlier than expected. He brought out Rusev's wife Lana and the two began making out for a rather long time while Rusev stood there all dejected.

It was clear that this was his official face turn and we must admit, it was a rather bizarre way to go about it. Either way, it looks as though Lashley may be joining Team Flair while Rusev will be joining Team Hogan at Crown Jewel, something that was already confirmed.

As for what happened, it's quite odd that WWE decided to run a romantic angle between Lana and Bobby Lashley. Who knows what's going to come of it?
