Here's The Possible Reason Why Rusev Lost His WWE SUMMERSLAM Match With Randy Orton So Quickly

Though hardly anyone expected Rusev to beat Randy Orton at SummerSlam this past Sunday, many were surprised at how quickly The Viper ended up hitting the RKO and pinning him clean in the middle.

There has been some speculation that The Bulgarian Brute may have been punished for something, but Dave Meltzer reckons there's a more positive explanation.

According to him, this is only the beginning of a feud between the pair and Rusev's quick loss will be seen as a fluke he's desperate to rectify. Also, the higher-ups felt Orton needed a win after losing his last 2 PPV matches in a row. I guess pinning the WWE Champion clean on Smackdown the week before wasn't enough.

At any rate, let's hope this end up working out well for Rusev, who is far too talented to be relegated to the lower card.
