Just another regular episode of SmackDown Live, like every week
#3 Worst: Giving up on Rusev Day?
Ad
This team will lose all its organic momentum
Rusev Day is a concept that got over on its own, quite organically. All WWE needed to do was to let it grow and thrive. Maybe give Rusev and Aiden English a few wins. Maybe have them appear in a few backstage vignettes, to get their characters more over than ever before.

IT'S RUSEV DAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #RusevDay#SDLive@WWEDramaKing@RusevBULpic.twitter.com/seF5C35t3G
Instead, they chose to book the team in a meaningless match and have them lose. Nothing was gained through this match, for the victors or the losers. We wonder if WWE even realizes when they've struck oil!
