According to a new report from PW Insider, Rusev has indeed been backstage at RAW in recent weeks despite speculation about him having contractual issues with WWE. The Bulgarian Brute was, in fact, backstage at the show last night, but it seems the company simply has no plans for him at the moment.
The same applies to Bobby Lashley, and Lana actually ended up missing RAW because she's currently shooting a movie (he new contract with the company allows her to take on more outside projects).
As of right now, it's thought that Rusev still hasn't signed a new deal, so his WWE future remains in doubt. WWE doesn't have matches scheduled for him or Lashley at WrestleMania, so chances are we'll see the two rivals in the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal.
That's a shame considering how much steam the love triangle storyline was gaining, but it seems Vince McMahon just decided to give up on that after growing board. Stay tuned for further details.
