Rusev On His Current Position On The SMACKDOWN LIVE Card: "I Have No Control Over Any Of That"
Rusev fans would love nothing more that to see The Bulgarian Brute rise to the top of the SmackDown LIVE roster, but so far that main event push has eluded him. Here, Rusev discusses his position in WWE...
Though Rusev did recently get a WWE Championship shot against AJ Styles, it was clear to everyone that he was never going to win the title, and, sure enough, as soon as the match ended The Bulgarian Brute found himself sliding back down to the mid-card.
Though there will almost certainly be more opportunities for him in the future, fans have become very frustrated that such an over Superstar hasn't been utilized to his full potential and given a proper main event push.
Does Rusev feel the same way? Here's his response to being asked about the situation by The Gorilla Position.
"I have no control over any of that. I’m there to perform to the best of my abilities and whether I’m first on the card or last, champion or not, I mean I’m just gonna be me and keep doing what I do best.
Eventually, one day you know cream rises to the top. So you know I’m waiting… I’m waiting for the rise.”
It's good that Rusev has a positive attitude about the whole thing. Hopefully that rise happens sooner rather than later... at least by the time Rusev Day comes around again.
