Rusev will presumably make his big comeback from injury at the ‘Money In the Bank’ pay-per-view, provided his conditions are met by ‘the powers that be’ of SmackDown. He wants a title opportunity at the pay-per-view, or he will head back to Bulgaria soon. We are really curious to know how this angle eventually plays out. This storyline will not only freshen up the character that he used to play on Raw, but it will also give him momentum coming in and establish him as a Superstar on top of the food chain.

There hasn’t been a major program between Randy Orton and Rusev, and after the Jinder Mahal feud is done (we presume that Randy Orton will win that feud), Rusev will actually be good competition for the champion. We wonder if the seeds for the same will be planted this week on SmackDown LIVE.
