It's been a while since we've seen Rusev on RAW, but the Bulgarian Brute was in action last night when he teamed with Humberto Carrillo to face Bobby Lashley and NXT Superstar Angel Garza.
Garza was clearly having a fun time in the bout as he managed to get a female fan at ringside to kiss him at one point, but the smile was wiped from his face after Rusev managed to lock in the Accolade. That prompted Lashley to get up on the apron, but he received a Machka Kick for his efforts.
Unfortunately for Rusev, though, the distraction worked because Garza was able to roll him up for the 1-2-3. Once the match was over, Rusev gave the upstart a beating, and it seems clear now that things still aren't quite done between him and Lashley.
Will the Bulgarian Brute ever gain the upper hand? It seems we'll have to wait and see for now!
