The threeway storyline between Rusev, Lana, and Bobby Lashley took a new turn on the last RAW episode of 2019 as Liv Morgan made her return during the Lana-Lashley wedding segment and dropped a huge bombshell, revealing herself as the Ravishing Russian's former lover. With her inclusion, the unexciting storyline has suddenly got a breath of fresh air and fans are interested to know what plan does she have in store to further the plot.
After the eventful wedding segment, the lovebirds finally wed last week on RAW, but the Bulgarian Brute ruined their night once again, setting up a match with The All Mighty on the upcoming episode of the Red brand. With Morgan being in Rusev's corner during the match, it would be interesting to see how the contest ends.
In this article, we take a look at the five possible finishes for the upcoming match between Rusev and Lashley:
#5 Rusev defeats Lashley clean
During their previous clash at TLC 2019, it was Bobby Lashley who defeated Rusev by putting him through a table, albeit with some help from the Ravishing Russian. With the Bulgarian Brute being the babyface in this rivalry, a clean victory for him is one of the possible finishes for their upcoming match.
What makes this finish a little less likely than the others mentioned ahead in this list is that a clean victory might not help advance the storyline further. With Morgan involved in the mix, we are sure to see more twists and turns in this story going further.
#4 Liv Morgan helps Rusev pick up the win
While Rusev picking up a clean victory over Lashley might not be the most likely option, this one certainly is. Last week, Liv Morgan announced herself to be in Rusev's corner for his match and there are huge chances of her intervening and helping the Bulgarian Brute, mostly to teach Lana a lesson.
We have previously seen Lana-Lashley teaming up on Rusev, but with Morgan by his side, the former United States Champion has backup. It could be a typical scenario of Lana trying to help Lashley, only for Morgan to turn the tables and provide enough distraction for Rusev to pick up the victory. Giving them the taste of their own medicine!
#3 Lana helps Lashley pick up the victory
The last couple of weeks have seen Lana and Bobby Lashley go through a lot of trouble, with their wedding and plans being continuously ruined by everyone. That makes me wonder whether WWE would book them to be the losers for three weeks straight.
Another Lana-assisted victory for Lashley would ensure that Rusev and Morgan finally decide to team-up to take on the newly-wed couple. A victory here would also ensure the heels get some momentum going, or else the storyline would become a one-sided affair and might not stay interesting for long.
#2 Liv Morgan and Lana get into a brawl
We know what usually happens when WWE books such a match on a regular episode of Monday Night RAW. While either of the competitors might pick up an upset victory via a quick roll-up or something, the most probable ending is a disqualification finish.
With both Lana and Morgan being at ringside, the focus will be as much on them as inside the ring. The two can hijack the match and cause a DQ by getting into an intense brawl themselves. We already got a preview of the same a couple of weeks ago when the former Riott Squad member brawled with the Ravishing Russian. With no decisive winner, the narrative could move forward and WWE can build towards an eventual Mixed-Tag match between the four Superstars involved.
#1 Lashley-Lana miscommunication leads to a Rusev victory
One of the biggest talking points from last week's in-ring segment between Lashley and Lana was the first sign of a crack in their lovely relationship as The All Mighty yelled at his on-screen better-half and told her to shut up, before continuing to address Rusev.
That could be a subtle hint to the fact that the happy days of the couple might be over soon. While Lana did oblige to Lashley's sudden burst of frustration last week, the same might not happen again. Throughout the storyline, the Ravishing Russian has been portrayed as a woman who is so self-obsessed that she doesn't care about anyone else.
What if Lashley again does something similar to offend Lana, starting a mid-match argument between the two newly-weds. This distraction would be enough for Rusev to take advantage and pick up the victory, much to the frustration of The All Mighty.
What impact would such misunderstanding have on the couple? Will they be able to stay on the same page? Will Lashley realize Lana's self-centeredness and part ways with her? There are so many directions the story could go in!
