#3 Backstage details on plans for Rusev

It had been reported that Vince McMahon was a fan of the Rusev vs Bobby Lashley storyline on RAW. However, it looks like the story came to an abrupt halt this week on RAW as Lashley was seen facing Seth Rollins and Ricochet for a chance to become the number one contender for the WWE Championship, while Rusev was absent from the show.

Dave Meltzer and Bryan Alvarez of WON discussed what WWE could be planning for Rusev and Meltzer noted that they don't have anything for him as of now.

Alvarez: Where the hell has Rusev been?

Meltzer: They don’t have anything for him right now.

Alvarez: So you’re telling me he did that whole storyline and divorcing his wife and this whole deal and now they got nothing for the guy?

Meltzer: Yeah! What do you do with him, I mean, what have you got? I mean, they may bring him back for Lashley but it’s kind of, that’s started to run its course.

Alvarez: Wasn’t like the whole idea like to sort of, get him over?

Meltzer: Yeah, but I don’t know for what.

Alvarez: So now you can’t figure what to do with a guy that your goal was to get him over?

Meltzer: Maybe they have an idea and this wasn’t the week for it because Lashley is in this other match and Lana is in this other direction. But yeah, hopefully, there is something for him at some point. I would hope.
