Well, it seems WWE has finally done something about those relentless Rusev Day chants!

Tonight on SmackDown LIVE, The Bulgarian Brute won a 5-man gauntlet match to earn the opportunity to face AJ Styles in a one-on-one bout for the WWE Championship at the upcoming Extreme Rules PPV event.

The match itself was terrific right from the off, as Daniel Bryan managed to defeat both Big E and Samoa Joe before being eliminated by The Miz after The Bludgeon Brothers got involved (Bryan walked by them on his way to the ring or something).

Then, it was The Awesome One vs. Rusev, and after a hard-fought battle, the latter got the submission win with The Accolade. Afterwards, Styles came down to the ring to congratulate his next opponent and belted Aiden English in the chops for good measure.

Does Rusev actually have a shot at winning the title? Let us know what you think in the comments below.
