WWE Rumor Roundup: Vince McMahon blocks RAW Superstar's push, 3 major returns set to happen and more – 17 September 2019

Rusev is not the father of Maria Kanellis' child!

Maria and Rusev

Maria Kanellis first named Ricochet as the father of her child but she revealed that it was a lie as soon as Mike lost his match to him. The former 24/7 champion, and WWE's first pregnant champion, then shocked the WWE Universe by naming Rusev as the father.

However, Dave Meltzer notes that he too isn't the father figure in this storyline and the real one will be revealed later. He believes that it will be a long time before the actual name is revealed but it certainly isn't Rusev.

“Rusev is not the father. I don’t know how they will get out of it next week but next week they will tell us that he is not the father. I think. I’m pretty sure about that actually. I think the reveal of the father is going to be like something like a long, long, long-term thing.”

Rusev is married to another WWE Superstar, Lana in real life and unless WWE want to use her in the storyline as well, things could change quickly.
