Rusev discusses putting Sheamus "on the map"; fires personal shots at WWE legend

Rusev has been one of the major attractions of RAW over the past few weeks. The Bulgarian Brute had a great match with Sheamus at Clash in Paris, where they collided in a Good Ol' Fashioned Donnybrook Match. He recently claimed that The Celtic Warrior should thank him for putting him on the map.

The Redeemer made his long-awaited return to WWE earlier this year on the RAW after WrestleMania 41. Since then, he has been dominating every opponent he has faced. The former United States Champion defeated Sheamus in their match at Clash in Paris.

Following his encounter with The Great White, Rusev appeared in an interview with VoxCatch. During the conversation, he fired some shots at Sheamus.

"That's why Sheamus keeps going around saying I did nothing before, which is, I did movies, I was a champion. And let's not forget that Sheamus hasn't done one of these premium live events in five years [sic]. So, he should be thanking me that I'm putting him on the map instead of the other way around. So, thank you, Sheamus. You're welcome, Sheamus."

Fans are excited to see what's next for Rusev after his match with Sheamus. It'll be interesting to see who he feuds with next.

Rusev claims he owes a lot of his success to John Cena

In the same interview, The Bulgarian Brute talked about his relationship with John Cena and the latter's contributions to his career. The RAW star had a great match with Cena at WrestleMania 31, where he lost the United States Championship.

While speaking about Cena, he said:

"I learned a lot from John Cena. You know, I got to wrestle him quite a bit throughout my years in WWE. And I owe a lot of my success to him, because I got to learn from him, wrestling him, [and] beating him as well. So I’m always going to be thankful for that."

It will be interesting to see if John Cena and Rusev get to face each other once again before the legend retires.
